In a heartfelt initiative to extend quality healthcare to underserved communities, Dr. Tahseen Riaz, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at IMC Hospital Lahore, conducted a free orthopedic medical camp at Mujahid Hospital, Faisalabad.

- Post-traumatic deformities
- Mobility limitations in elderly patients
- Pre-surgical and post-surgical orthopedic cases
Patients from across Faisalabad and neighboring areas gathered at the camp, many of them elderly or low-income individuals seeking relief from long-standing orthopedic conditions.
“Everyone deserves expert care โ whether they live in Lahore or a remote town. This camp is part of our commitment to serve beyond the clinic walls,” said Dr. Tahseen Riaz.

Community Response
The local response was overwhelmingly positive. Dozens of patients expressed their gratitude, many remarking that it was their first time meeting a specialist without the burden of travel or expense.
Hospital staff at Mujahid Hospital praised the collaborative effort, stating that such camps not only heal bodies but restore hope in communities where healthcare access is limited.
