Health Talk On Nutrition At AKMCCC

While we are always concerned about knowing the causes and treatment of the most prevailing diseases around us, we must not overlook the impact of healthy diet on our well-being. A healthy diet is an essential part of our lives which helps us live a fit and better life. Keeping this in view, a health talk on nutrition was arranged at The Aga Khan Maternal and Child Care Centre, Hyderabad, on 20 November 2017.

This session was facilitated by an expert nutritionist from Karachi, Ms. Maryam Shaikh. She delivered detailed information about healthy and unhealthy foods, essential nutrients and portion size.

The session was attended by the general public and the hospital's employees and was followed by an interactive question answer session. This engaged the audience, and they left positive comments about the programme:

 "I am a diabetic patient and I found this session very helpful. I would definitely get appointment for this nutrition clinic and get consultation about the right diet for me" – Mrs. Basheer Ahmed, housewife.

"I am a pregnant woman and my husband is also very health conscious, I found this session very informative. It also increased my knowledge about the right diet for me and my family" – Mrs. Mehwish Umar, housewife.

Many participants highly recommended arranging such informative sessions in the future as well.
