The Pakistan Air Quality Experts (#PAQx) group met together for a Pre-launch consultation on PAQI’s upcoming ‘Pakistan’s Air Pollution Landscape’ report. The report is set to be launched in the coming month.

#Lahore's smog doesn't receive as much criticism as #Karachi's deluge. Smog has far more serious long-term healthcare implications than a flooded city. Both are mostly man-made disasters. Political narratives are an obstacle in combating them. #ClimateCrisis #Pakistan

We can't lose sight of the basics! On #GlobalHandwashingDay2025 I was with the most pivotal hospital teams, #Housekeeping #InfectionControl and the #InfectionControlandPrevention community program, raising #awareness on how proper handwashing prevents major communicable diseases.

#Airpollution finally gets air time. @Dawn_News hosted an important #multidisciplinary conference, where I spoke about the impact of air pollution on #health. Great to reconnect with the PakX technical group also. Just in time for #smog season in Punjab.

Special thanks to #ChaiToastaurhost @Dawn_News for a fantastic discussion on the impact of #airpollution on health from basic symptoms to strategies to make a individual, community & government level differences. Plus great to see host Rijah again! #airpollution #breathe #Dawn

#WorldLungDay & #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay: perfect backdrop for the #IndusYaqeen Conference, #CleartheAir! Exciting engagements with multitalented Pakistani youth on #airpollution, its causes, impact & importantly, the ways forward. #YouthEmpowerment #HealthForAll #FixtheAir
