Challenges

A variety of health issues plague Dadu district in Sindh Pakistan, particularly the poor residents. Malnutrition is a serious issue, and a lack of access to food and clean water is its main cause. As a result, many children are undernourished and women suffer from diseases like anemia. Poor sanitation, a lack of hygiene, and insufficient healthcare facilities contribute to the spread of infectious diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and typhoid. Other prevalent health problems in the region include respiratory diseases, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is linked to the high prevalence of air pollution.

In addition to inadequate healthcare access, the district faces a shortage of healthcare professionals, particularly in rural areas, which exacerbates the issue. Overall, Dadu’s problems show how badly its residents need better access to medical care, clean water, sanitation facilities, and preventive healthcare sessions.

Transparent Hands recently organized a life-changing free medical camp and preventive healthcare session for the impoverished patients of Dadu in UC Khan Jo Goth, Village Choli Depar, Tehsil Mehar, District Dadu, Sindh, on 29th May 2023. It illuminated a ray of hope in the lives of those in need. With the sole mission of making quality healthcare accessible to all, Transparent Hands organized this camp, ensuring that vital medical services reached the underprivileged community of Dadu. The Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund also participated in this medical camp and made some of the arrangements.

Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests

A total of 335 deserving patients were provided with free consultations by expert doctors. In addition to the consultations, essential healthcare services included free medicines, diabetes tests, screenings for hepatitis B and C, and examinations for typhoid, malaria, cholesterol, and blood pressure. All these essential services were made available to the patients at no cost, ensuring their well-being and contributing to the improvement of their overall health.

Diseases and Treatments

Most of the patients who sought consultation were suffering from fever, flu, cough, vomiting, migraine, kidney stones, earache, weak eyesight, asthma, allergies, fever, diabetes, body pain, hypertension, gastric problems, and body weakness. A total of 35 lab tests were also conducted during the medical camp. Around 3% of the tested patients had hepatitis C, and 2% had hepatitis B.

Preventive Healthcare Session on Personal Hygiene

A female doctor conducted a preventive healthcare session specifically focused on preventing malaria and dengue fever. The doctor highlighted the importance of using mosquito repellents, wearing long sleeves, and sleeping under bed nets to prevent mosquito bites. It is also a good idea to get rid of any standing water around your house and to install screens on any doors or windows.

Impact

The successful free medical camp held in District Dadu, Sindh, has made a significant impact on the lives of 335 deserving patients and their families by addressing pressing health issues that the people of Dadu have been facing.
