Seminar on ‘Health at Workplace’
Punjab University (PU) Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Muhammad Ali has said that the subject of history is of great importance in Western countries, but it is not among our priorities here. He was addressing a seminar on ‘Health at the Workplace: Internal and External Perspectives’ organised by the Department of History and Pakistan Studies, Punjab University at the auditorium of the Institute of Chemistry. On this occasion, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Spain Dr Zahoor Ahmed, Dean Faculty of Arts and Humanities Prof Dr Mehboob Hussain, faculty members and students were present.
In his address, PU VC Prof Dr Muhammad Ali said that history is a subject that is specially taught in America. He said that studying history helps in knowing the past, examining the present and planning for the future.
Dr Zahoor Ahmed gave a presentation to the participants on taking care of health at the workplace. He said that the symptoms of mental illness also appear physically. He said that on the one hand, a doctor is contacted for the treatment of physical diseases, on the other hand, instead of a psychologist; people go to a sympathiser or friend for mental problems. He said that for the improvement and peace in the society, there is a need to change negative thinking and attitudes.
