KARACHI, Feb 12: Over 285 patients were examined and provided free medicines at a skin and BMD treatment camp organized by the Al-Mustafa Welfare Society on the main University Road opposite the Bait-ul-Mukarram Mosque on Sunday evening.

Doctors on the occasion informed people at the camp that people faced calcium deficiency usually after the age of 45 years with women being more vulnerable, but nowadays owing to excessive use of fast food and soft drinks, the deficiency even occurred at an earlier age.

Doctors Asif Siddiqui, Misbah-ur-Rehman, Humayoon Aziz and others examined the patients at the camp that was inaugurated by the Honorary Consul of Cameroon, Syed Abdul Bari Jillani. Haneef Tayyab and Ahmed Shakoor of the society also spoke.
