Averaging
6.8 per 1000 people, Pakistan’s death rate has been a cause of concern for
several decades. The main benefactors for it being infectious, pulmonary and
cancer related diseases, just
to name a few. Due
to these reasons, Pakistan is in dire need of a well-functioning healthcare system
which unfortunately it does not currently possess.
Different organizations in Pakistan are trying to build a better healthcare
system to secure Pakistan’s future and a prospective step towards achieving
this goal was accomplished at Salim Habib University where a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) was signed among the involved parties namely: SHINE
Humanity, Salim Habib University and Intellect Doctors Forum Pakistan.
The
purpose of this agreement is to ensure that proper training is received by
SHINE Humanity’s doctors who would be familiarized with the latest treatment
protocols and offered professional growth by the training provided by Intellect
Doctors Forum. Salim Habib University has generously offered the use of their
classrooms and lecture halls for these training sessions as part of the MoU.
SHINE Humanity will also provide internship opportunities to the students of
Salim Habib University to get programmatic and on field experience through
SHINE Humanity’s projects. Seeing the success of the first ever seminar held
under the MoU, it acts as a source of optimism towards a flourishing future
envisioning a better healthcare system in Pakistan.
