Al-Rayaz Hospital Trust: Free Medical & Eye Camp on October 20, 2024
Al-Rayaz Hospital Trust is once again stepping up to serve the community with its Free Medical & Eye Camp, scheduled to take place on October 20, 2024. This noble initiative will be held at the hospital’s Eye Department Building in North Karachi, and is a wonderful opportunity for those in need to receive a range of free healthcare services.
Services Offered
This free camp will provide a comprehensive range of medical services, including:
Free OPD/BMD/BMI: Free outpatient consultations and body mass index (BMI) checks will be available for all attendees. Additionally, bone mineral density (BMD) testing will be offered for those looking to evaluate bone health.
Free Eye Check-Up: An excellent opportunity for anyone experiencing vision problems, the camp will provide thorough eye examinations free of charge.
Free Cataract Surgery: In an act of kindness, Al-Rayaz Hospital Trust will also offer free cataract surgery for patients who cannot afford this crucial procedure. Cataract surgeries can significantly improve quality of life, especially for elderly individuals, and the hospital aims to help those in need.
Discount on YAG Treatment: Patients requiring YAG laser treatment—often used post-cataract surgery for clearing cloudy vision—will be able to access this service at a discounted rate.
Free Cholesterol and Sugar Tests: In addition to eye care, free cholesterol and sugar level tests will be offered to all camp participants, helping to identify potential heart health risks and diabetes.
Free Medicine: The hospital will also provide necessary medications free of charge based on the medical evaluations conducted during the camp.
Why This Camp Matters
Al-Rayaz Hospital Trust has always been committed to delivering quality healthcare to the underprivileged. For many, financial constraints make access to healthcare a challenge. This initiative, particularly the provision of free cataract surgeries and free medication, can make a world of difference for those who cannot afford regular medical services.
Cataracts, which cloud the lens of the eye, are the leading cause of blindness globally, especially in low-income communities. With this camp, the hospital hopes to reduce preventable blindness and give people their vision—and independence—back.
