“Sindh government has provided every possible support to NICVD for the provision of best treatment facilities and now this centre is functioning in entire Sindh. Our focus now is to lower the disease burden by increasing awareness among common people about the heart health and prevention from cardiac ailments”, he maintained. Declaring media and government as two major partners in the preventive cardiology programme, Dr Nadeem Qamar urged the media and government to support them and convey their messages to far flung areas of the country. “Media can make people aware in small villages and towns while the government’s support is inevitable for the material resources”, he added. Dr Nabila Soomro from NICVD Rehabilitation Department also spoke while senior professors, cardiologists and experts from different departments were also present.
