On February 24, 2025, the KMU-Institute of Family Medicine (IFM), in collaboration with AIMS Sugar Hospital, organized a free medical camp at KMU-IHS Swabi.

The goal ? Early detection, proactive care and empowering the community to take control of their health.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅:

✅ Free blood sugar tests

✅ Screening for hypertension & other common illnesses

✅ Lifestyle and preventive care counseling

✅ Free medicines for diagnosed individuals

✅ Referral for further care

𝑫𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓?

- Diabetes is Pakistan's leading non-communicable disease.

- Early detection can change the trajectory sometimes with just a few small adjustments.

- Without screening, people unknowingly progress to full-blown disease, leading to serious complications and higher healthcare costs.

- Managing diabetic patients well can prevent devastating outcomes like kidney failure, heart disease, blindness etc
