Challenges in Shorkot:

Shorkot is a small town in the Jhang district in Punjab, Pakistan. People living on the rural side of Shorkot are facing various health challenges due to the quality of care which is provided, affordability issues, and accessibility to clinics and hospitals. There are a few hospitals in Jhang but unfortunately, they are out of reach of the rural population due to increased costs. As a result, people of Shorkot face a number of serious health issues including infectious diseases such as malaria and diarrhea. These diseases often spread quickly among the community of Shorkot due to a lack of basic health facilities and awareness. Villagers are not even able to fulfill their basic necessities including food and clothing. Traveling to other cities for timely treatment is a huge barrier for many poor villagers due to expenses.

Our Solution:

Transparent Hands believes in providing healthcare without discrimination to those who cannot afford it. In the past, the organization has organized 2 medical camps in Jhang in which more than 800 patients received free healthcare. This time again, we intend to reach out to hundreds of patients of Shorkot and provide them basic healthcare facilities for free.

Help us in reaching out to the people of Shorkot and provide them with timely treatment. Donate for this medical camp and be a part of our life-saving mission!
