Ghulam Rasul Shahzad OBE said: “I am pleased that AMPSO has organised this just before the start of the month of fasting as it will benefit those who will be fasting.

“We should be thankful to all the doctors for their contribution to raise awareness of important issues which are currently affecting the community and organising all the subjects for raising awareness of the community.
