The caretaker provincial health minister Prof Dr Javed Akram said, “I congratulate the administration for organising the successful conference.

I have worked in many countries but I have not received the respect that Pakistan has given me anywhere else. Relationships are very important in our society. Medicine has changed a lot in the last twenty years.

The Corona epidemic that came in 2019 has changed the lifestyle of humanity. After the corona virus, there has been a lot of innovation in the world of medicine.”

Prof Dr Javed Akram further said, “I always say to adopt evidence based medicine. We should be a good doctor along with a good human being. Allah Almighty has made man the best of creation in the world.

I know all these people who worked day and night for the medical education system.

Dreaming is the work of man and fulfilling it is the work of Allah. There is a relationship of trust between the student and the teacher. A good teacher creates good students in society. We should always respect our teachers.”
