Transparent Hands, with the sponsorship of Packages Foundation, recently organized a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session to provide quality medical support to deserving patients in Shikarpur. The free medical camp was held on December 25, 2024, at Kundan Residency, Near Shikarpur Toll Plaza, District Shikarpur.

Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests

A total of 556 deserving patients received free consultations from our expert doctors. Medicines, general check-ups, blood pressure check-ups, diabetes tests, uric acid tests, hepatitis B & C screenings, and cholesterol tests were provided free of cost. Here is a summary of the different diagnostic tests provided at the free medical camp in Shikarpur.

Diseases and Treatments

Most of the patients who received consultations were suffering from flu, skin allergies, scabies, fever, diabetes, body pains, cough, and stomach issues. Free medicines were given to a large number of deserving patients.

Preventive Healthcare Session

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 Scabies. It is a skin condition caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, which burrows into the skin, leading to intense itching and a rash.    

Impact

The free medical camp made a difference in the lives of 556 deserving patients and their families, who were facing various health challenges due to limited access to healthcare services. Many of them had been suffering for a long time, unable to afford consultations or treatments. The camp brought hope and healing to the people of this area. 

The camp not only addressed their health concerns but also educated them on how to prevent and manage scabies. The residents expressed immense gratitude as this initiative improved their quality of life. 

Medical Camp Team

The medical camp team consisted of 14 members, including 2 supervisors, 3 doctors (one male and two females), 1 lab technician, 2 pharmacists, 4 patient registrars, 1 photographer, and 1 driver.
