On this #WorldDayforDecentWork, we echo the voices of workers like Shafique Masih from Lahore. Facing multiple challenges at work, from stigma to lack of proper protection, he calls for respect & safer working conditions in the sector. Read his story: bit.ly/3ZTuadJ


Thank you Dean @AdilHaiderMD for your kind support and appreciation. With strong commitment from @sessi_official, we at @AKU_CHS are keen on expanding and scaling up this work in near future.

#ImpactAlert! Through the SODISS pilot project with @sessi_official , our @AKU_CHS launched a digital surveillance system in select Karachi hospitals to develop the first industry specific occupational health data registry in PK to inform policy and safety standards.

Every winter, #Lahore is engulfed in toxic #smog, a combination of smoke & fog. Pollution particles mix with cold, moist air and hang close to the ground, reducing visibility and people’s life expectancy. @LivingIndus #ClimateChange 📸 : @CatherineWeibel
