Prof. Dr. Syed Razi Haider Zaidi, Chairman, Department of Community Medicine, shared valuable insights during the Hand Injury Awareness Seminar organised by plastic surgery department.

He emphasized that hand injuries represent not only a clinical challenge but a significant public health and socioeconomic burden. Prevention, he noted, must begin with awareness — educating individuals, workers, and communities about risk factors in domestic, occupational, and road environments.

Prof. Zaidi highlighted the critical role of prompt treatment in minimizing complications and limiting long-term disability. Early medical intervention, combined with timely rehabilitation, is essential to restore function, independence, and productivity.

He further underscored the importance of evidence-based policy measures, including:
• Identification of high-risk occupations and work settings
• Strengthening workplace safety regulations
• Ensuring access to protective equipment and training
• Recognizing and addressing the economic costs of preventable injuries

Integrating economic evaluation into prevention strategies, he stated, allows health systems and institutions to justify investments in safety by demonstrating reductions in treatment costs, disability, and productivity loss.

Such academic and public health dialogues reflect the leadership role of **King Edward Medical University** in promoting prevention, safety, and community well-being.
