PPC and Khyber Eye Foundation host a free eye care clinic for journalists in Peshawar.
The health committee of Peshawar Press Club in collaboration with Khyber Eye Foundation (KEF) organized a free eye camp for journalists and their families on Saturday. The initiative aimed to provide comprehensive vision screenings and necessary medical assistance to the local media community. This event marked an important step towards improving public health awareness and ensuring that those who dedicate themselves to reporting news remain healthy.
The camp was well-received by participants, many of whom expressed gratitude for this opportunity to receive professional eye care services at no cost. KEF volunteers worked diligently alongside medical professionals from PPC’s health committee to conduct thorough examinations and provide appropriate treatments where needed. The free screenings covered a range of issues including cataracts, glaucoma, and other common vision problems.
The Peshawar Press Club has been actively involved in community welfare programs for years, focusing on enhancing the well-being of its members and the public at large. This latest initiative underscores their commitment to supporting local journalism by ensuring that reporters can continue their important work without being hindered by eye health issues.
This event not only highlights PPC’s dedication to improving the quality of life for journalists but also serves as a model for other organizations looking to extend healthcare services to underserved communities. KEF, known for its efforts in rural and remote areas, has extended its reach into urban centers like Peshawar through partnerships with local media groups.
As part of their ongoing commitment to public health, PPC and KEF plan to continue organizing such camps regularly, aiming to make eye care accessible to a broader audience. This collaboration exemplifies the power of partnership in addressing critical community needs and ensuring that essential services reach those who need them most.
