• More than 550 patients received expert
  consultations from 830 am to 630 pm. Patients
  not
• only from Hyderabad but also from many
  adjoining cities including Nawabshah, Larkana,
  Kotri
• and Jamshoro came and benefited from this
  one-day clinic. The patients appreciated the
  efforts
• and requested for more such special clinics
  to cater to the people in Sindh. 

• While addressing the public Dr. Mubashir Ikram
  said, there are numerous people who smoke or
• are addicted to beetle nut, paan or gutka.
  Consumption of these substances can lead to
• life-threatening cancers. The purpose of
  this camp was to facilitate patients at
  subsidized charges
• for easy access to basic healthcare.

• Patients were provided with basic consultations
  mainly for thyroid, throat infections, hearing
  problems,
• allergies, sinus, tonsillitis and other such
  problems related to ear, nose, throat,
  head and neck. Some
• cases of cancer were also diagnosed through
  these subsidized consultations.

• Patients said they were overwhelmed by this
  initiative. While sharing the feedback about this
  event
• one of the patients said These subsidized
  clinics in Hyderabad by AKUH experts saved the
  hassle of
• travelling to Karachi. They should be
  arranged more often in Hyderabad. Another
  patient expressed
• his views by saying We highly appreciate
  the efforts of the Aga Khan University Hospital,
  we hope
• such camps are also arranged in other cities
  of Sindh, particularly Nawabshah.

• I am extremely happy to visit these clinics in
  Hyderabad. I am a cancer patient and I usually
• travel to Karachi for my treatment but
  since my doctor was coming to facilitate these
  clinics
• in Hyderabad I came to see him here. This
  is great work, keep it up Ms. Farhana, a
  Government
• Teacher, Hyderabad.
