KARACHI: A one-day free eye camp was organised at Shifa Khana Ahle Sunnat in Liaquatabad through a collaboration between Anjuman Talaba-e-Islam (ATI), a youth organisation, and Al-Riyadh Hospital Trust, benefiting more than 250 patients.
The camp was part of efforts to provide medical facilities in Karachi’s densely populated, underprivileged and low-income neighbourhoods.
A team of specialist doctors examined more than 250 patients, providing free outpatient department (OPD) consultations, medicines and other medical facilities.
More than 40 patients diagnosed with cataracts were selected for surgery. Their operations and imported intraocular lenses will be provided free of charge. Weekly follow-up visits have also been arranged to facilitate patients’ continued care.
According to a spokesperson for Anjuman Talaba-e-Islam Pakistan, Shifa Khana centres established at various locations across Karachi are being made operational with the support of the organisation’s Social Welfare Wing and ATI volunteers.
The organisation is also set to launch initiatives across Karachi under its Hoonhaar Anjuman programme. These include the establishment of artificial intelligence (AI) laboratories, digital skills centres and dispensaries, as well as the regular organisation of free medical camps.
