THERE are moments in life when personal experiences compel us to reconsider our opinions, challenge our assumptions and acknowledge the contributions of people who quietly serve humanity. PIMS, has often faced criticism over the quality of medical services, patients’ treatment, administrative shortcomings and the behavior of some hospital staff. However, my recent personal experience with its Cardiology Department has given me different perspective regarding professionalism, dedication and humanitarian spirit of its medical leadership and team. My younger brother recently suffered cardiac arrest, an emergency in which every passing moment makes difference between life and death. At that critical moment, we had to depend on the medical expertise, timely intervention and professional commitment of the doctors at PIMS. What followed was an experience that changed my perception of PIMS. Under the supervision and leadership of senior Dr. Syed Nasir Ali Shah Consultant Cardiologist, my brother received treatment without any financial charges. Doctors and medical staff worked with dedication and responsibility, providing necessary care during difficult time for our family. For us, their efforts were not merely a medical service; they represented an opportunity for a loved one to live again.

I appreciate and acknowledge the professional commitment and humanitarian approach demonstrated by Dr. Syed Nasir Ali Shah Consultant Cardiologist and his team, including Dr. Sohail Habib, Dr. Ali Raza, Dr. Liaqat Rind, Dr. Abdul Jabbar........
