KARACHI: Hamdard Pakistan organised session at Hamdard’s Corporate Head Office on ‘Philosophy of Hikmat’, presided over by Sadia Rashid President Hamdard Foundation Pakistan. Prof. Dr. Abdul Wahab Suri head of Philosophy Department Karachi University was invited as guest speaker.

Dr. Arshad Saleem explained aims and objectives of initiatives taken by Hamdard Pakistan to promote philosophy and vision of Hikmat. He said that in order to further strengthen our relationship with Hikmat, it is imperative that people become aware of basic concept of Hikmat. This will enable them to effectively convey and spread message of Hamdard in society. In order to keep pace with modern fast-paced world, wider meaning of wisdom and thoughts should be defined in line with current needs.

He said that Hamdard was primarily healthcare organisation. However, focus of our business was to promote healthy lifestyle with awareness of general health among masses. “Modern allopathic healthcare system is actually sick care system that we use only when we are sick, whereas, an ideal healthcare system should be that which you can refer to in state of health or infirmity to get useful health advice for yourself. That is why Hamdard Pakistan adopted new theme: Aafiyat Se Jeetay Raho! Which clearly reiterates our commitment to health and wellness of our country,” he said.

Prof. Dr. Abdul Wahab Suri said, “Spirituality has not been taken into account in present-day healthcare system, due to which diseases are increasing continuously. It would be unfair not to acknowledge value of modern medical sciences in understanding details about human body parts. We must benefit from their findings and research. However, we also need to keep in mind fact that in modern medical sciences, human is just psycho-chemical organism like other living beings.”

He said, “Hikmat offers much more comprehensive healthcare system than conventional medicine, based on its approach to addressing health issues holistically. That is why Hikmat should be presented to international community as an alternative healthcare system. Hikmat’s methods of diagnosis and prevention are concrete, detailed and comprehensive.”
