Islamabad : King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has recently concluded its sponsorship of four medical camps in Pakistan as part of the ongoing effort to combat blindness and eye diseases. These camps, organized in collaboration with the Al-Basar International Foundation and Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital Karachi, aimed to provide advanced eye care facilities to individuals who lack access to specialized treatment or face financial constraints.
Strategically positioned in both rural and urban areas of Sindh Province, these medical camps targeted regions where eye care services are scarce. The primary objective of this outreach program was to detect and address eye-related issues at an early stage, thereby combating blindness and improving the quality of life for thousands of individuals.
Throughout the duration of the program, more than 23,356 medical examinations and over 1,656 surgeries were successfully completed. Additionally, 3,788 pairs of glasses for vision correction were distributed, alongside the medications prescribed by doctors. This initiative ensured that individuals not only received essential treatment but also had access to the necessary eyewear to enhance their visual capabilities.
The impact of this effort has been profound, reaching individuals in various communities of Sindh province. The camps were held in the cities of Karachi, Matli, Kundairo, and Shikarpur, allowing residents from these areas to benefit from specialized eye care services and regain their vision.
This campaign reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s steadfast commitment to humanitarian causes and dedication to improving the lives of individuals affected by blindness. Through these medical camps, KSrelief has made a significant difference in the lives of thousands of patients, restoring their sight and providing hope for a brighter future.
