A total of 10,920 people have been treated, of which 40% are children.

Along with essential medicines, labs and medical services, the camps provide continuous counseling to the displaced population who are suffering from a barrage of illnesses, including mental health issues, diarrhea, skin infections, urinary tract Infections, acute respiratory infections, and gastroenteritis.

318 Community Engagement Counseling sessions have also been conducted on the prevention of diseases and rational drug use.

Moving forward, IHHN plans on setting up additional disease-specific medical camps in flood-impacted areas of the province.

WHO collaborated with IHHN to open the first ever flood-relief medical camp and diagnostic laboratory in Thatta.
