The first MediHealth Clinic operating successfully since 2007 in the underprivileged locality of Shah Faisal Colony providing healthcare and welfare support to hundreds of families held a health camp revolving around the measurement of bone density of the local residents on the 11th of February, 2012.
This health camp was carried out successfully with the cooperation of Novartis Pharmaceutical. Approximately 180 patients were tested for bone marrow density out of which 80% comprised of women while the rest, men. The results of the bone marrow testing revealed that over 90% of women who were married had osteoporosis in varying degrees. Medicines for the treatment of osteoporosis, alongside others, which were diagnosed were prescribed to the patients.
