Highlighting the role that healthcare providers play in shaping economies and environmental sustainability, speakers at an international conference held in conjunction with International Nurses and Midwives Day emphasised the importance of recognising and supporting the contributions of nurses and midwives in building resilient healthcare systems. Titled 'Economy and Environment: Impact through Nursing and Midwifery Care,' the conference was hosted by the Aga Khan University School of Nursing and Midwifery (AKU-SONAM) in collaboration with the hospital's Division of Nursing Services. Speaking as the chief guest, the Secretary of Universities and Boards, Noor Ahmed Samoo, commended AKU-SONAM for becoming a role model in the fields of nursing and midwifery in the country. 'As Pakistan’s first private institution to establish a School of Nursing and Midwifery, AKU-SONAM faculty has made significant contributions to the field through its outstanding academic services, research work, and awareness programmes,' he stated.
