Empower Needy Patients in Lahore With Free Healthcare

Upcoming medical camp to empower patients in Lahore

Overview

Transparent Hands has been bridging the gaps in Pakistan’s healthcare sector by arranging free medical camps and preventive healthcare sessions for the underprivileged. Thousands of patients receive free treatments through our medical camps every year. Despite living in the urban areas many patients in Lahore are unable to access quality healthcare. Our upcoming free medical camp at Hafeez Center, Lahore, will provide free check-ups, medicines, and diagnostic tests to hundreds of patients belonging to underprivileged and vulnerable communities.

Challenge

Many local hospitals in Lahore are overburdened and patients often have to wait for long periods of time to undergo essential surgeries. Patients in Lahore are suffering from a long list of illnesses, including hypertension, cardiac issues, and respiratory diseases. Smog is one of the key factors that increase the prevalence of respiratory diseases. Around 25% of adults in Lahore suffer from hypertension and approximately 10-15% have diabetes. Numerous patients suffer from treatable diseases in the city because they can’t afford to pay for their treatments.

Solution

Since a large number of needy patients in Lahore are unable to access quality healthcare due to financial hardships, Transparent Hands is organizing a free medical camp, where our expert doctors will also hold a preventive healthcare session for the attendees. The following healthcare services will be made available to hundreds of patients free of charge.

Free Check-Ups by Female and Male Doctors
Free Medicines
Free Hepatitis B & C Screenings
Free BSR & Blood Pressure Check-Ups
Free Uric Acid Tests
Free Eye Check–Ups

Transparent Hands will hold a Preventive Healthcare Session on Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) as it’s one of the diseases faced by many residents of Lahore. Our expert doctors will discuss various aspects of preventing and managing this disease. Hundreds of attendees, including women and children, will benefit from this preventive healthcare session.

Besides providing these quality healthcare services free of charge, Transparent Hands will also register the cases of those deserving patients who need further surgical or medical procedures. They will receive treatments at one of our panel hospitals. Join hands with us to support this noble cause. Contribute now.
