Over four days in September, a Christian medical team served over 300 victims of the Karachi flood, many of whom were found to have been affected by water contaminated by overflowing sewage and rife with waterborne disease.
Two cities were visited, Essa Nagri and Malir Cantt, and very similar medical conditions were detected in both regions. Two doctors and four nurses helped serve the constant flow of people interested in a medical check or treatment for illness.
Free medical camp
The numbers attending increased daily as news spread about the free medical camp and medicines, and many of those who came for help had their first encounter with a doctor; for most of the others it was a rare opportunity to see a doctor.
