Mark Your Calendars: Free Medical & Eye Camp Comes to Manghopir on 29 June 2025
Healthcare should never be a luxury. Yet for many families living around Manghopir, even a routine eye exam or a basic blood‑sugar screening can strain the monthly budget. That’s why Al‑Rayaz Hospital Trust, in collaboration with the One Ummah Foundation (OUF), is turning Sunday 29 June into a day of free, first‑class care for everyone—no insurance cards, no referral letters, no hidden charges.
Why This Camp Matters
Vision problems, undiagnosed diabetes and high cholesterol silently steal quality of life. Early detection is the easiest cure, but check‑ups are only effective when they are affordable and nearby. By bringing doctors, diagnostic equipment and medicines directly to the Eye Department of the Leprosy Hospital in Manghopir, this camp removes both the cost and the commute, making preventative care as simple as walking in.
