ISLAMABAD – Islamabad Medical & Dental College (IMDC)’s Social Affairs Society (SAS), in collaboration with Dr Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital (ANTH), arranged a free medical camp near Bari Imam in Islamabad for transgender persons, who are the most neglected community. A large number of transgender persons benefitted from the medical camp where screening for diabetes and hypertension alongside vision checkup and BMI was provided. Consultations for general diseases and free medicines were also provided to everyone coming to the medical camp. Other than transgender persons, some underprivileged people also attended the camp to avail free medical facilities and they were guided about healthy habits and diets. They thanked the hospital and the college management and students, and expressed their wish to have more such medical camps on a regular basis.
