With the generous support of DAHW Germany, MALC conducted 8 Chest Camps in underserved communities of Karachi, providing free consultations and essential chest healthcare services to 2,202 people.

Through these camps, TB symptoms were identified early, suspected cases were referred for testing, and diagnosed patients were connected with timely treatment and care. Beyond healthcare, these camps brought hope, comfort, and dignity to families who needed support.

Together, we continue to break barriers, promote early detection, and move closer to a TB-free future.

In Badin, assistive devices were distributed to persons with disabilities through a collaborative initiative led by the 2 MPA, the Deputy Commissioner Badin, and the Assistant Commissioner, with the support of the DEPD and the Government of Sindh.

This initiative reflects a shared commitment to promoting accessibility, dignity, and equal opportunities for all. By providing essential assistive devices, we take another meaningful step toward building a more inclusive and empowered community.

With the support of BMZ, 54 Skin NTD Camps were conducted during the first six months of 2026 across Karachi and underserved communities in Interior Sindh, bringing essential skin health services closer to those with limited access to healthcare.

A total of 6,442 people received consultations, leading to the early identification and management of various skin conditions, including scabies, eczema, fungal infections, bacterial and viral infections, leishmaniasis, contact dermatitis and suspected leprosy cases. Seven suspected leprosy cases were referred for further evaluation, with one case confirmed.

These camps also raised awareness, encouraged early health-seeking behavior, and helped reduce the stigma surrounding skin diseases. Together, we continue to bring quality healthcare to vulnerable communities, ensuring that no one is left behind.

When Care Reaches the Doorstep

With the support of Missio, MALC continued its commitment to bringing essential skin health services closer to communities that need them most. In the last quarter, a total of 4 Skin Camps were organized in Karachi, reaching 1,030 individuals through free consultations and basic dermatological care.
Behind every number is a person, someone who came with concern, waited with hope, and left with relief. Although no leprosy cases were detected in these camps, the true impact lies in early screening, awareness, and timely access to care that helps prevent disease before it takes hold.
Each camp is a reminder that healthcare should never depend on distance or circumstance. Together with Missio, we continue to stand with communities, bringing dignity, care, and hope.

Clear vision is essential for a better quality of life.

In collaboration with HBL Foundation, an Eye (Cataract) Screening Camp was organized at the HBL Zarai Dost Shop, Depalpur, providing free eye examinations for members of the farming community and their families.

The camp focused on the early identification of cataract-related symptoms such as blurred vision, reduced night vision, faded colours, double vision, and halos around lights, helping people seek timely medical care.

At HBL Zarai, we believe supporting farmers goes beyond agriculture. By bringing essential healthcare services closer to rural communities, we continue our commitment to improving the well-being of farming families.
