19th International UMR Conference Commences at Peshawar Medical College
PESHAWAR (April 15, 2026) — The 19th International UMR Conference 2026 officially opened at Peshawar Medical College on Wednesday gathering a prestigious assembly of academicians, researchers, and medical students. The inaugural session centered on the urgent need to transition from being mere consumers of knowledge to becoming creators of evidence-based research.
The Chief Guest, Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad, Vice Chancellor of Riphah International University (RIU), delivered a profound keynote address. He highlighted that while the Quran places immense emphasis on research and the pursuit of evidence, much of the Ummah has drifted toward the simple application of existing knowledge.
Dr. Anis urged professionals to conduct a "self-audit" of their responsibilities to ensure they are meeting societal needs. He articulated a vision where education is not pursued for material gain, but to "illuminate one’s surroundings" and serve humanity. "A holistic view of health must balance both mental and physical well-being," Dr. Anis stated, while also advocating for the use of national languages, specifically Urdu, to bridge social divides and preserve cultural heritage within the scientific community.
The conference featured prominent international perspectives on the rising threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR):
Prof. Dr. Anwar Hoosen (University of Pretoria), in an online plenary lecture titled "The Essential Pathway of AMR Research in Resource-Limited Settings," outlined the pressing burdens of global health and called for a strategic shift in how developing nations approach medical research.
Dr. Yogandree Ramsamy (University of KwaZulu-Natal),drawing from her South African experience, she discussed the practicalities of combating AMR and the necessity of clinical evidence in improving patient outcomes.
Earlier in the session, Dr. Hala Rajab, Director of UMR, presented "Charting the Cosmos of Knowledge: From Research to Reality," highlighting the conference's core objectives.
The session concluded with a vote of thanks by Prof. Dr. Zahoor Ahmad Swati, Director of RIU Peshawar. Shields of appreciation were presented to the chief guest and keynote speakers to honor their contributions to the field.
The 19th International UMR Conference will continue with a series of academic competitions, workshops, and interactive sessions designed to enhance the research capacity of the next generation of healthcare professionals.

پشاور میڈیکل کالج کےپروفیسر ڈاکٹر نجیب الحق اور پرائم ٹیچنگ ہسپتال وارسک روڈ کے لیبارٹری سروسز کے انچارچ پروفیسر ڈاکٹر محمد اشرف نے تمام لیبارٹی کے تمام عملے سے "لیبارٹری سٹاف کی ذمہ داریوں " کے موضوع پر ایک ٹرنینگ سیشن منعقد کیا جس میں درست لیبارٹری ٹیسٹس کی اہمیت اورمریضوں کی بروقت تشخیص اور مؤثر علاج میں اس کے بنیادی کردار پر بات کی گئی۔انہوں نے بتایا کہ لیبارٹری عملے پر لازم ہے کہ وہ اپنی ذمہ داریاں انتہائی احتیاط اور پیشہ ورانہ مہارت کے ساتھ انجام دیں۔ یرقان یا شوگر وغیرہ جیسے معمول کے ٹیسٹس میں بھی معمولی غلطی کانتیجہ نہ صرف غلط تشخیص بلکہ غلط علاج کا سبب بھی بن جاتی ہے ۔ حساس ٹیسٹس مثلاًخون میں شوگر کی کمی یا دل کے ٹیسٹس کی رپورٹ فوری طور پر معالج تک پہنچانا ازحد ضروری ہے کیونکہ ان میں معمولی تاخیر یا غفلت کے سنگین نتائج ہو سکتے ہیں حتیٰ کہ موت بھی واقع ہو سکتی ہے۔
انہوں نے تمام عملے کو ہدایت کی ہے کہ وہ خود کو جدید علم و مہارت سے آراستہ رکھیں، طے شدہ پروٹوکولز پر سختی سے عمل کریں، یہ نہ صرف ان کی پیشہ ورانہ ذمہ داری ہے بلکہ دینی ذمہ داری بھی ہے، مزید برآں پیشہ ورانہ دیانتداری اور امانت کے صحیح تصور کو سمجھنے پر بھی زور دیاگیا جس میں ڈیوٹی کے اوقات بھی شامل ہیں۔ دینی و اخلاقی پہلوؤں کے مطابق ڈیوٹی اوقات کی پابندی کی تاکید کی گئی اور علماء کے فتوؤں کی روشنی میں بتایا گیا کہ ڈیوٹی اوقات میں نفل نماز پڑھنے یا ذاتی کام کرنے کی بھی اجازت نہیں،اوقات میں کمی کرنا اورپھر اس وقت کی تنخواہ لینا حرام ہے، یہ بھی یاد رکھا جائے کہ ادارے کی تمام اشیاء ملازمیں کے پاس امانت ہیں اور ان کی حفاظت عملے کی بنیادی ذمہ داری ہے، کام میں جان بوجھ کر کوتاہی کرنا اور ناہل افراد کا کام کرنا اسلام میں سنگین اور قابل سزا جرم ہے

World Autism Awareness Day: Autism and Humanity, Every Life is Precious

​Public Message by:
Prof. Dr. Muhammad Irfan
Peshawar Medical College

April 2nd is observed globally as World Autism Awareness Day. This year, the theme is "Autism and Humanity: Every Life is Precious."

​Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition, which simply means experiencing and interacting with the world in a different way. Common traits include repetitive behaviors, communication challenges, and difficulty maintaining eye contact. However, it is vital to recognize that individuals with autism possess their own unique and remarkable abilities.

​We must all strive to build a more inclusive society. As these children grow up and take on responsibilities in various fields, we need to provide them with environments, methods, and opportunities that align with their distinct capabilities. They deserve a dignified and supportive space in terms of both their education and social standing.
​Furthermore, we must extend our support to their parents and families, who can sometimes face social isolation and unique challenges. Together, we can foster a society where every single individual has the opportunity to thrive and succeed according to their true potential.
