A Free eye camp was held at the National Press Club Islamabad in collaboration with Frontier Institute of Ophthalmology Hospital Private Limited to provide free eye examinations and consultations for NPC members and their families. The camp focused on early detection and advice for eye conditions and offered on-site consultations at no cost.
The medical team included Professor Dr Mushtaq as CEO, Dr Hasan Raza serving as consultant and Dr Maryam Umar as Head of Department, along with other ophthalmologists who examined patients and provided guidance on treatment and follow-up care. NPC members and their relatives received personalized assessments and recommendations during the Free eye camp.
Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon visited the event accompanied by Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists president Afzal Butt, National Press Club president Azhar Jatoi, secretary Niyar Ali and senior journalists. The minister praised the National Press Club leadership for arranging the camp for members’ welfare and said such initiatives are welcome and should be continued in the future.
The initiative highlights growing collaboration between medical institutions and press organisations in Islamabad to safeguard journalists’ health. The Free eye camp underlined the importance of accessible ophthalmic care for working journalists and their families and set a precedent for similar community health drives.
