With a view to raising awareness about diabetes and extending free spot testing to diabetic patients, Evercare Hospital Lahore (EHL) organized a free medical camp. Pakistan has the 4th highest prevalence of diabetes, with an estimated 19.4 million diagnosed diabetic patients. Due to increasing numbers, it is estimated that Pakistan will move up to the 3rd highest diabetes prevalence by 2045, health professionals said.
Evercare Hospital is one of the few multi-specialty tertiary care facilities in Lahore, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and led by an experienced clinical team with both local and international experience.
"As dedicated healthcare professionals, we want to make sure that we provide the best possible service to the city's residents," Dr Hafiz Abdul Rauf Consultant Physician Evercare said, adding: "This includes raising awareness about a disease that is so prevalent in our nation. We hope that the people take advantage of this opportunity to get themselves tested."
