A free medical camp was organized at Drosh Institute of Computer and Technology, Union Council Drosh 1, District Lower Chitral (KPK), where 200 deserving patients received free healthcare services through Transparent Hands.
The camp was arranged with the support of Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), NIDA-Pakistan, and other donors, along with audiological support from Starkey.
Patients were provided with:
Free medical consultations by expert doctors
Free medicines
Diagnostic tests including blood sugar, uric acid, cholesterol, Hepatitis B & C screenings
Blood pressure checkups
Audiometry and ear specialist consultations
Special focus was given to ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issues, as many patients in the area were suffering from hearing and infection-related problems. Preventive healthcare awareness was also shared, advising people to avoid inserting objects like pens, pencils, keys, or cotton buds into the ears, as this can worsen ear health by pushing wax deeper.
At the camp, patients were treated for common health issues such as:
fever, flu, diabetes, stomach diseases, oral infections, skin allergies, sore throat, cough, kidney pain, back pain, and hearing problems.
A preventive healthcare session was also conducted to educate the community about ear hygiene and disease prevention practices.
During the camp, 6 patients requiring surgical intervention were identified and may be registered for further treatment at partner hospitals after medical verification.
In total, this camp had a meaningful impact on 200 underprivileged patients in Chitral, where access to quality healthcare is limited and people often travel long distances for treatment. The local community appreciated the efforts of Transparent Hands and expressed gratitude for this life-changing initiative.
A dedicated team of 17 medical and support staff ensured the smooth execution of the camp, including doctors, lab technicians, pharmacists, audiologists, nurses, and support staff.
This medical camp became a source of hope for the people of Chitral, bringing free healthcare services directly to those in need.
