Free Medical Camp in Rural Mardan
This past weekend, (May 31, 2008) UM Healthcare Trust (our nonprofit organization for healthcare in Pakistan) organized an extremely successful free medical camp for the poor and needy at remote Village of Zahidabad in rural Mardan District, NWFP.
Patients had begun flocking the facility from early in the morning and continued to come till late in the evening. In all, over 180 patients were treated by specialists for mother and child health related diseases. The doctors who had driven specially to Mardan from Lahore to partake in this endeavor were extremely pleased with the outcome. "We shall be back again with even more doctors in the coming future" mentioned Dr. Muzammil Zaidi (Pediatrician).
Free medicines were also distributed among the needy patients.
Such medical camps will now become a regular feature of UM Healthcare Trust "Healthcare Outreach Program". The last Saturday of each month is now designated as "Free Camp Weekend". Hence, if any doctor/nurse wants to donate their time and effort, please let us know and we would be happy to schedule you in.
