Impact 

The free medical camp made a difference in the lives of 227 deserving patients and their families. Through this medical camp, deserving patients receive quality medical services that would have otherwise been inaccessible due to financial limitations. By offering free medical consultations and diagnostic tests, the camp effectively addressed the immediate healthcare needs of these underserved patients. 

A preventive healthcare session further added immense value to our mission. This transformative initiative to provide quality healthcare to impoverished, remote, and rural areas was made possible through the unwavering support of numerous generous donors. These financial contributions played a crucial role in enabling us to reach and assist those who would have otherwise been deprived of essential medical care.
