Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan joins the global community in commemorating World Health Day with great resolve and commitment and renews pledge to build a healthier nation.
In a message on World Health Day observed on April 7, he said, “This year’s theme, ‘Together for Health-Stand with Science,’ conveys a powerful and positive message. It reminds us that the true purpose of science lies in its practical and meaningful application for the well-being of humanity.”
“Advancements in science and technology call upon us to translate innovation into effective policies and services that safeguard the health of our people, protect our environment, and secure the well-being of our future generations,” he said adding, “Pakistan is steadily transforming its healthcare system towards a model that emphasizes prevention of disease and health promotion, rather than focusing solely on treatment. Primary Health Care serves as the foundation for achieving Universal Health Coverage, marking a strategic shift from a treatment-based system to one centered on prevention and good health standards.”
