On Saturday, the third day of Ramadan, we held two medical camps: one in mian sahib garhi and another in Gul abad. A total of 177 patients were seen.

Date: Saturday, 14 August

Village: Mian Sahib Garhi

Tehsil: Tangi

Like all of the areas affected by the flood waters, Mian Sahib Garhi has no drinkable water and has not had electricity for the past 14 days. Our medical teams saw a total of 101 patients, primarily with respiratory tract infections, gastroentritis and skin diseases. There were also cases of malaria and typhoid seen. We vaccinated children and adults against cholera, typhoid and teatnus and packed up the camp at noon.

Village: Gul Abad

Our team treated 76 patients among the displaced people staying at the government primary school for girls in Gul Abad. Again, the primary issues here were skin diseases and dehydration, followed by gastroenteritis and respiratory tract infections.
