Preventive Healthcare Session

Impact
This free medical camp made a substantial impact on the lives of 402 deserving patients and their families. In Lahore, overburdened local hospitals in addition to the high costs of healthcare services make it difficult for residents to receive routine check-ups or treat illnesses early. By providing free consultations, medicines, and diagnostic tests, we addressed healthcare needs in the community. Many needy patients benefited and they got timely diagnoses and treatments for their health issues.
Moreover, a preventive healthcare session empowered residents with knowledge to prevent and manage breast cancer. Overall, this medical camp played a pivotal role in catering to the health needs of the diverse community in Lahore.
Our mission of extending free healthcare to the needy in Lahore was accomplished through your generous support. We thank you for your contributions as you made a real difference in their lives.
