Supporting the Needy in Multan Through a Free Medical Camp
Transparent Hands is organizing a free medical camp in Multan to extend essential healthcare services to the city’s most vulnerable patients. By offering free consultations and treatments, we aim to uplift low-income communities in Multan, ensuring no one is left without the help they need.
Challenges:
Multan faces significant health challenges, including various communicable and non-communicable diseases. Acute respiratory infections are among the common diseases. Many residents are unable to get diagnosed or treated, which makes the condition worse.
Solution:
To address such health issues and to improve the well-being of the underserved community of Multan, we will organize a free medical camp there. Our highly qualified medical team of doctors, nurses, volunteers, and lab technologists will offer the following free healthcare services:
· General Check-Ups
· Gynecology Check-Ups
· Blood Pressure Check-Ups
· Uric Acid Tests
· Cholesterol Tests
· Hepatitis B & C Screenings
· BSR (Blood Sugar) Tests

· Deserving Surgical/Medical procedure cases will be registered
Preventive Healthcare Session:
To raise awareness about one of the common health issues in Multan, our doctors will deliver a preventive healthcare session. Through this session, they will get valuable information to improve their quality of life.
Transparent Hands, with the sponsorship of Packages Foundation, recently arranged a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session to provide quality healthcare to impoverished patients. The free medical camp was held on August 27th, 2024 at Bulleh Shah Packaging LTD, Multan.
We aimed to help needy patients who faced numerous challenges in accessing adequate medical care in Multan.
