Uplift Low-Income Communities with Preventive Healthcare in Quetta

Transparent Hands is going to organize a free medical camp to help underprivileged people in Quetta. We aim to provide medical assistance to impoverished people who can’t access quality healthcare. Quetta, a populous city, faces significant challenges when it comes to providing quality healthcare to low-income residents. Through this camp, their health issues will be managed and they will be provided with free medications, consultations, diagnostic tests, and treatments.

Challenges

Despite its status as a major city in Pakistan, many needy individuals are unable to access essential medical care. Due to their financial hardships, many residents can’t obtain essential healthcare services, which turns their minor issues into complicated ones.
In Quetta, the widespread health issues include respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal issues. Typhoid, malaria, and hepatitis are also prevalent, causing significant health risks to the community.

Solution

To tackle these health issues faced by the underprivileged communities of Quetta, we are going to organize a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session. This free medical camp will play a crucial role in catering to the health needs of the diverse community. Moreover, the distribution of free medicines in addition to the diagnostic tests and consultations will make sure that no one will be left behind in accessing quality healthcare.

Our team of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and lab technicians will offer the following free healthcare services at our upcoming free medical camp in Quetta.

· General Check-Ups
· Gynecology Check-Ups
· Blood Pressure Check-Ups
· Hepatitis B & C Screenings
· Uric Acid Tests
