Project Updates (April to June 2019)
Patients Benefitted through our healthcare services:
During this quarter more than 3,320 patients out of which 48% were female, 24% were male and rest children were treated. Following are the disease trends for April, May June.
For all three months an Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI)/Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) remained alarming high.
Free Medical Camp:
UM Healthcare Trust in collaboration with Indus Pharmaceutical pvt (limited) arranged a free medical camp on April 26, 2019 from 9am to 3pm at UM Healthcare facility in Mardan. The objective was to conduct Bone Mask Density (BMD) test/scan and spread awareness on the osteoporosis and provide appropriate preventive care and medical alternatives. A bone mineral density test uses X-rays to measure the amount of minerals — namely calcium — in your bones. This test is important for people who are at risk for osteoporosis, especially women and older adults. It is expected that the problem is much more in the rural and malnourished community. Early detection of potential and at risk individuals and their timely and appropriate treatment can reduce the stresses of mental, physical and financial nature.
Total 68 patients were scanned for BMD and out of these 40 patients (60% female) were diagnosed with Osteopenia and Osteoporosis.
