Be a Part of Providing Quality Healthcare in Kasur
Transparent Hands is dedicated to transforming lives through accessible healthcare in Kasur. We have identified Kasur as an area where many needy patients are awaiting necessary treatments and we plan to arrange one of our upcoming medical camps in Kasur, Pakistan. Kasur is a city with a rich cultural heritage. However, the community faces significant challenges when it comes to healthcare access. Through this free medical camp, we aim to ensure that no one is left behind in accessing quality healthcare.
Challenges For People of Kasur
Kasur is a city with a growing population, but the residents struggle with inadequate healthcare facilities. The inadequate number of hospitals and clinics often leaves residents with little to no options for proper medical check-ups and treatments. This shortage of healthcare facilities results in delayed diagnoses and untreated illnesses, which could be managed with timely intervention.
Contaminated water leads to various waterborne and other diseases among the population. Moreover, chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension often remain undiagnosed and untreated due to the lack of accessible healthcare.
Solution
To positively impact the lives of hundreds of needy patients in Kasur, we are setting up a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session to provide a broad range of healthcare services free of charge. This camp will cater to the diverse health needs of the community. We will bring in a team of dedicated doctors, nurses, lab technologists, and volunteers to provide consultations, diagnostic tests, and medicines free of charge. They will provide the following free healthcare services at the camp.
· General Check-Ups
· Gynecology Check-Ups
· Blood Pressure Check-Ups
· Cholesterol Tests
· Hepatitis B & C Screenings
· Uric Acid Tests
· BSR (Blood Sugar) Tests
· Ultrasound Scans
· Preventive Healthcare Session
· Deserving Surgical/Medical procedure cases will be registered
Preventive Healthcare Session
In addition to medical services, we will conduct a preventive healthcare session on one of the common diseases in Kasur. It will empower the community with the knowledge to reduce the incidence of preventable diseases and encourage healthy lifestyles.

On 20th September 2024, Transparent Hands, with the collaboration of the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF) & Association for Gender Awareness and Human Empowerment (AGAHE), organized a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session in Mokal Village, Kasur. The primary objective of this camp was to provide essential medical assistance to the underserved community of Kasur.
Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests
A total of 407 deserving patients received free consultations from our expert doctors. Medicines, general check-ups, blood pressure check-ups, dental check-ups, ultrasound scans, diabetes tests, uric acid tests, and hepatitis B & C screenings were provided free of cost. Here is a summary of different diagnostic tests provided at the free medical camp in Kasur.

Preventive Healthcare Session
In addition to the medical services, our expert doctors delivered a preventive healthcare session to educate the attendees about Dental Hygiene. They were given knowledge about the maintenance of oral health, and how regular dental exams and thorough cleanings are crucial, as they keep teeth and gums in optimal condition and help detect problems early.
Impact
This free medical camp had a significant impact on the lives of 407 needy patients. With limited access to health facilities, many families in Kasur were unable to seek timely medical attention. By providing free consultations, medicines, and diagnostic tests, we addressed the necessary health needs of the community.
Women, children, and the elderly particularly benefited, receiving treatment for conditions that had long been neglected. The camp not only treated existing illnesses but also raised awareness about the importance of early detection and regular check-ups for oral issues.
The success of this camp was made possible through the generous support of donors, whose contributions continue to fuel our mission of providing quality healthcare to underprivileged people. We extend our deepest gratitude for your support.
