Pakistani women bring pride to the country, says Javed Malik

DUBAI: President of Dubai Diplomat Business Club and former ambassador of Pakistan, Javed Malik has said the Pakistani women are bringing pride to the entire nation through their hard work and dedication. He was expressing these views during a special ceremony to honour Pakistani Doctor Sarah Saeed Khurram, who was awarded the Rolex Enterprise Award as an Associate Laureate at an impressive ceremony in Dubai. The Rolex Awards form part of Rolex’s Perpetual Planet initiative supporting individuals seeking to find solutions to humankind’s most pressing challenges. Dr Sarah Saeed was recognized for helping to reach

thousands of patients in her country’s medically under-served communities by connecting them with home-based female doctors via an innovative, low-cost, tele-medicine (e-health) network.

While appreciating Dr Sarah, Javed Malik said this international award for a Pakistani woman doctor, once again proves that women in Pakistan are not only actively participating in every walk of life with their male counterparts, but also achieving excellence and recognition at a global scale. He further said education is the only pathway to success, and as a society we must ensure access to quality education and it should be made affordable for every Pakistani citizen across the country.
