Mewati Dunya organized a free medical camp in Kasur as part of its continued commitment to community welfare, public health awareness and practical service for people who need support the most. The camp was arranged in collaboration with local partners, sponsors and volunteers who joined hands to provide basic medical consultation, health screening and guidance to families from nearby villages.
The free medical camp brought together 10 doctors, 15 supporting staff members and a dedicated team of Mewati Dunya volunteers. The medical team included general physicians, child health consultants, women’s health advisors, basic eye screening support and pharmacy assistants. Throughout the day, the camp served around 420 visitors, including elderly patients, women, children, daily wage workers and students.
According to the camp registration desk, more than 180 patients received general medical checkups, 95 visitors were screened for blood pressure and sugar levels, 70 women received basic health guidance, 45 children were examined for seasonal illness and nutrition concerns, and more than 250 patients received free basic medicines after consultation. Volunteers also helped manage queues, guide elderly visitors, assist women and families, and explain follow-up instructions given by doctors.
The purpose of the camp was not only treatment, but awareness. Doctors advised visitors about hygiene, clean drinking water, timely checkups, balanced diet, child vaccination, women’s health and the importance of not ignoring early symptoms. Many visitors said that reaching a hospital is difficult because of travel cost, time and family responsibilities. For them, a free medical camp close to home became a meaningful relief.
One emotional moment came when a visitor from a nearby village, Mrs. Rukhsana Bibi, shared her feelings after receiving consultation for herself and her two children. She said, “We usually delay checkups because going to the city costs money and takes the whole day. Today the doctors listened to us with respect, checked my children and gave guidance. I felt that someone remembered our village too.” Her words reflected the real value of such welfare efforts: dignity, access and care.
Dr. Shumaim, Incharge of the Medical Camp, appreciated the doctors, supporting staff and volunteers for their discipline and compassion. She said the experience showed how much need exists in rural and semi-urban communities for basic healthcare access. “Many patients did not need expensive treatment at the first step; they needed proper listening, basic screening and correct guidance. If we continue such camps regularly, we can prevent many small health issues from becoming serious,” she said.
Senior members of the Mewati Dunya Community also visited the camp and thanked the sponsors and partner organizations for their cooperation. They emphasized that welfare is an essential part of community building and that education, health, culture and service must move together.
Mewati Dunya announced that the next free medical camp is planned in Pattoki district area near Kasur, where another team of doctors and volunteers will serve local families. Volunteers, medical students and community members are encouraged to apply for registration and join the upcoming welfare activities.
The Kasur medical camp proved that sincere service does not always require large promises. Sometimes, a doctor’s time, a volunteer’s effort, a sponsor’s support and a community’s intention can bring real comfort to hundreds of people.
