My name is Nadir, and I am 67 years old. I came to the SHINE Humanity Clinic in Koohi Goth, because I felt I was always thirsty, my hands often felt numb, and occasionally my vision was blurred. Initially I put these health issues down to old age, but I felt the problems were getting worse over time. During the night, the quality of my sleep was also greatly disturbed as I was getting up very frequently to use the toilet.
At the Koohi Goth Clinic, SHINE physicians immediately identified potential symptoms of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and administered an HbA1C test to confirm their diagnosis. Once diagnosed, I was prescribed medical treatment and nutritional counselling. During my follow up visits, I am always sure to thank the SHINE physicians and nurses at SHINE’s clinic, for providing quality care within my hometown.
By encouraging patients to also adapt to a healthier lifestyle, SHINE is able to provide a holistic approach to medical care. Our Diabetes program which provides quality primary healthcare to the underserved communities are only possible with the help of our donors. We are grateful for your continued support.
