Riphah International University Sahiwal Campus reaffirmed its commitment to community health and social responsibility by successfully organizing a Free Medical Camp through its Department of Physical Therapy and Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT). The initiative aimed to provide accessible healthcare services to underserved members of the local community and promote awareness about preventive health care.
The medical camp was held with the active participation of qualified healthcare professionals and enthusiastic support from faculty and students. A large number of patients visited the camp, reflecting the trust and positive response of the community toward Riphah International University’s healthcare initiatives.
During the camp, three medical specialists and experienced physiotherapists offered their professional services. Patients received free medical check-ups, expert consultations, physiotherapy assessments, and guidance on pain management and physical rehabilitation.
In addition to consultations, the camp also facilitated:
A total of 125 patients benefited from the services provided, many of whom had limited access to regular medical care. The medical team ensured that each patient received proper attention, diagnosis, and guidance for follow-up care where necessary.
The success of the medical camp was further strengthened by the collaboration with Muzzammal Pain Management Center, whose expertise significantly contributed to effective pain assessment and physiotherapy-related treatments. This partnership highlighted the importance of institutional collaboration in delivering high-quality healthcare services to the public.
Alongside community service, the medical camp also served as a valuable practical learning opportunity for students of Physical Therapy and MLT. Under the supervision of qualified professionals, students actively participated in patient handling, basic assessments, and laboratory support, enhancing their clinical exposure and professional skills.
Such initiatives bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world medical practice, preparing students to become competent healthcare professionals.
Riphah International University Sahiwal Campus remains dedicated to improving public health and well-being through meaningful outreach programs. The Free Medical Camp reflects the university’s mission to serve humanity by integrating education, healthcare, and community engagement.
The university plans to continue organizing similar health camps and awareness programs in the future, ensuring sustainable healthcare support for the surrounding communities.
