Free Diagnostic Tests for Poor Patients
There are many alarming gaps in Pakistan’s healthcare sector. The local hospitals are often overburdened and struggle to address all the different health problems faced by the country’s growing population. Thousands of people suffer every day due to the lack of access to quality healthcare facilities, especially diagnostic tests like ultrasound scans, pulse oximetry, accurate blood pressure check-ups, and tests to determine the levels of uric acid and cholesterol. Transparent Hands is going the extra mile to help patients awaiting life-saving diagnostic tests.
Transparent Hands’ Solution
We have been arranging free medical camps for the last six years in the remote and rural areas of Pakistan where people cannot afford to pay for their treatments due to financial constraints. Since proper diagnosis is required for the treatment of patients, we bring quality diagnostic tests directly to the remote, impoverished, and underserved communities in Pakistan. However, we need your support to expand the range of diagnostic tests we make available to deserving patients for free.
You can help us achieve this by donating for the purchase of urgently needed diagnostic equipment. The healthcare services we make available at our free medical camps can become even more comprehensive with these new diagnostics facilities.

With your support, we have expanded the range of diagnostic tests offered at our free medical camps with new equipment, including a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine and several associated components, digital blood pressure monitors, a thermometer gun, cholesterol, and uric acid testing devices. Thousands of underprivileged patients who had been awaiting life-saving diagnostic tests are benefiting from the equipment Transparent Hands acquired in August 2022. Their treatments would not have been possible without proper diagnosis.
Women with pregnancy and gynecological concerns along with those with general abdominal complaints are undergoing ultrasound scans at our free medical camps. We plan to use this diagnostic equipment at hundreds of medical camps over the coming years. It is a landmark step in championing the cause of providing free quality healthcare facilities to Pakistan’s most deserving patients.
