KARACHI: In face of persistent threat posed by Covid-19, our collective resilience shines brighter than ever, stated Dr. Saboora Waris Associate Director at Maroof International Hospital. Today, we come together to underscore three critical facets that demand our unwavering attention and action-relentless presence of Covid-19, pivotal role of clinical trials in shaping our defense and opportunity for free treatment that empowers us all.

 Speaking at Media Roundtable organised by FINN Partners, on ‘Covid19 and importance of clinical trials’ she shared that even as we strive for normalcy, specter of Covid-19 still looms large. This virus has tested our resolve, but it cannot diminish our determination. We must remain vigilant and proactive to safeguard our communities and chart course toward brighter future.

 

Dr. Saboora said that our battle against diseases, especially Covid-19, cannot be overstated. These trials serve as crucibles of hope and progress where life-changing vaccines and groundbreaking medicines are forged. By participating in clinical trials, individuals become not just beneficiaries but champions of medical innovation. Every trial participant plays pivotal role in development of treatments and vaccines that can change the course of endemic and save lives.

 Dr. Waris announced that free tests are readily available at Maroof International Hospital and several hospitals and testing centers have stepped forward, ensuring that access to testing is not privilege but fundamental right. These tests empower us to take control of our health, protect our loved ones and collectively diminish the virus’s grip on our lives.

 

Path forward is illuminated by our shared commitment to science, our resolve to protect one another, and our faith in power of medical innovation. Let us stand united, for in our collective strength, we find power to reshape narrative of this endemic.
