Skor: The cardiovascular disease has emerged as the biggest cause of death in the country, claiming about 400 400,000 lives annually and is more than 30 % of all deaths.

In panic with the growing crisis, experts health and policy makers have called for immediate, nationwide reforms to prevent, preliminary detection, and equal access to care, especially in the underground areas.

“Pakistan is facing a cardiovascular emergency,” said Dr Raj Kumar, president of Pakistan Cardiac Society (PCS).

“This is not only a challenge of public health but also a problem of national development – an ill manpower cannot keep the nation ahead.”

Dr. Kumar emphasized that the lack of awareness of the poor lifestyle, poor nutrition, smoking, uncontrollable diabetes, and heart health were key to the deteriorating situation.

He emphasized the need to move towards active prevention from reaction treatment models, starting with mass health education and professional training.

The call -to -action was released during the PCS “Leaders Track” session, a modern educational program that is a famous pharmaceutical company to support medical education.

The program gathered the cardiac, physicians, trainees and students from Sindh to discuss complex cardiac cases, diagnostic strategies, and challenges related to the region.

Dr. Kumar noted that a major obstacle to improving the results is the lack of cardiovascular diseases in the peripheral areas, as well as a limited access to delays with diagnosis and modern procedures.

“We should educate not only our patients but also those who care for health – and that is the purpose of the leaders,” he said. This session includes detailed case presentations, multi -faceted panel discussions, and interactive learning cardiology, diagnosis, and treatment protocols. Participants detected the burden of cardiovascular disease in the countryside, which highlighted the need for better screening programs and the need for strong health care infrastructure. Dr. Syed Fayaz Mujtaba, coordinator of PCS Lakarana Bab, who is leading the local arrangements for the program, said such educational activities in small cities are very important to eliminate the difference of knowledge. “Bringing such programs to the score makes sure that the doctors outside the big urban centers refresh the best methods and the guidelines made,” he said.

Both the organizers and the participants acknowledged the Pharmaco partnership. Marketing and Sales Director Summer Iqbal Jafri reaffirmed the company’s commitment to permanent medical education. “Professional development is essential, not optional,” said Jaffrey. “Through our cooperation with the PC, we are proud to enable a co -platform that can directly improve patient care.” He added that Pharmevo focuses on long -term partnerships with medical institutions to enhance the quality of health care in Pakistan. In his closing remarks, Dr. Kumar emphasized the need for permanent action. “Such training sessions should be a regular feature across the country,” he said. We cannot wait for doctors to learn – we should take them to learn, “he said,” He called on both public and private sectors to make precautionary shortages, screening measures, and more investment in the community. “
