Enhancing Community Well-being with Our Free Medical Camp in Lahore
Recently, Transparent Hands, with sponsorship from HTL / ZIC Oil, organized a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session. This camp aimed to provide accessible, quality healthcare to those in need. It took place on February 22, 2024, at Raheem Park, located opposite ZIC Petroleum on Gurumangat Road in Gulberg III, Lahore.
Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests
A total of 562 patients received free consultations from experienced doctors and were given medications. They also underwent screenings for diabetes, uric acid, hepatitis B and C, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Furthermore, the camp conducted 200 diagnostic tests, ensuring comprehensive healthcare without any financial burden for the patients.
Diseases and Treatments
Most of the patients who sought consultation were suffering from fever, cough, flu, earache, chest pain, chest congestion, weak eyesight, high BP, scabies, body/joint pain, liver pain, diabetes, diarrhea, high cholesterol, and constipation. Only one surgical case was registered.
Preventive Healthcare Session
One of our expert doctors held a preventive healthcare session for the attendees at the free medical camp. The session focused on the prevention and management of diabetes.
Impact
The free medical camp brought a profound difference to the lives of 562 deserving patients and their families. The camp offered vital medical consultations, a range of diagnostic services, and a preventive healthcare session. By providing these services for free, the camp relieved the financial burden on these families and gave them access to essential healthcare that would have otherwise been unaffordable.
