Detail Report of Medical Camp
Venue: Village Chawala UC Ikhlas Tehsil Pindigheb District
Attock
Date: 15 December, 2013
Theme: Saving the life of Mother and Children
Introduction of JFL
Journey for life is an organization registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860. It is a non-government organization working for the Prosperity of humanity at large. Journey For Life was founded in 2012 with the purpose to promote Education (specially in remote areas), Youth Activities, Human Rights Awareness (specially women rights and child rights), Mother & Child Health Awareness, Disability, HIV (Aids) and Basic Health Issues in the communities. Its purpose is to initiate activities and programs in order to proceed towards problem solving in various communities.
Introduction of the area
The Village Chawala is situated 25 KM away from Tehsil Pindigheb in the East. Its population consists of almost 60 houses. Being far and because of lack of conveyance, education and medical facilities, this area is too much backward. The dwellers of this area have to go to other areas in case of emergency. Road is totally absent from the scene, and because of unavailability of transport, the patents usually die especially during the maternity. The ratio of deaths of babies and mothers during birth is very high. Along with it educational facilities are also not available here. The villagers usually do not get their daughters educated because of non existence of the schools. As a result illiteracy is common to the area.
JFL Pakistan held a free medical camp on 15 December, 2013 in Village Chawala. Free Medical checkup and medicines were provided to the women and the children. JFL arranged free medicines out of its own budget and also arranged the team of doctors for this camp. For which it has to undergo a lot of difficulties because of backwardness of the area and the disappearance of infrastructure of the roads. As we needed lady doctors for this camp, we took the service of Dr Wajeeha Ahmed and Dr Bushra Ansari for this purpose and it was very pleasing to us when both the doctors consented to provide free volunteer service for the medical camp. A lot of advertisement for this medical camp was carried out in the area. Announcements were made in the mosques of the area, the broachers and panaflex were also used in this area.

The camp was very successful. A total of 54 Patients were registered in the medical camp, free treatment and free medicines were given to them. Detail of the patients listed in medical camp is mentioned below:-
Challenges
Many challenges were faced during the medical camp, however the team overcame most of these ensuring the success of the camp.
· Many Organizations were approached prior to the camp requesting their support but no one supported.
· The tables for the camp were not available in the village, we used small bench for this camp.
· We had limited private room, so we put medicines in open air.
Recommendations
· Due to camp success, the villagers requested another camp be organized in next year 2014.
· More medical specialists need to include in next camp including surgery.
· Advance team members should be onsite 24 hours before the event to ensure to ensure all local logistic needs are completely set up prior to commencing patient care.
· The challenges experienced in this camp should be reviewed and solutions identified prior to next year’s event.
Conclusion
The camp was well organized despite some miscalculations. All patients who arrived at the camp were evaluated and treated while a few were referred. The organizing committee for this camp extended appreciation and sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in this camp.
At the end, credit goes to the villagers belonging to Chawala, team of doctors and the team of JFL Pakistan for the successful holding of this medical camp. We strongly desire that this process of serving humanity should continue on the same pedestrians and in the poverty-ridden areas of the country which are lacking in medical facilities, chain of hospitals should be established to provide health facilities to the people at their door step. I hope that JFL would struggle hard to carry on this process of serving humanity. Those who wish to cooperate with JFL for this purpose and stand by us in the service of humanity and eradication of poverty are welcome. The land needs good deeds and we can make a mark of progress only by the welfare of our country fellows.
