Greek medicine is a living, dynamic science and art that has been demonstrating its significance for centuries, according to Sadia Rashid, president of the Hamdard Foundation. In terms of Greek medicine, Pakistan is an independent nation.

May God not make the same error again by using the complementary medicine of the neighboring nation instead of sending our richly stocked herbal remedies from Sindh province. She was addressing a seminar on Greek medicine, background, and prospectus held on Sunday at the Sir Shahnawaz Bhutto Memorial Library under the sponsorship of Pakistan Eastern.

She stated that in order to avoid expensive treatment, the competent Ministry of Health officials should be trusted to make sound decisions. At that time, the people of the nation needed to assess this serious situation.

If not, we will require assistance in this industry, just like in others. Greek medicine originated in Sindh Province, according to Prof. Dr. Azhar Ali Shah, pro vice chancellor of the Sindh University Campus. Eastern medicine is our great heritage, which our ancestors have given us in the form of civilization.

He claimed that Dr. Hakeem Muhammad Saeed gave this world to humanity and that enlightening the public with knowledge and awareness is both a civic and religious obligation that our society needs. He suggested that Shaheed Hakeem Muhammad Saeed be honoured by having a medical facility named after him in Larkana.

Greek medicine has been a tried-and-true and simple treatment method for centuries, according to Professor Dr. Hakeem Abdul Hanan, but like other sciences, its research is limited in the modern era, so students should be exposed to the innovations in medicine.

He claimed that after the corona, alternative treatments are becoming more popular. Only a few nations are benefiting from the expansion of the Greek medicine industry, which is predicted to reach 200 billion dollars in the coming years.

He claimed that because of Hamdard Foundation founder Shaheed Hakeem Muhammad Saeed, Pakistan is among a select group of nations that are advantageous by international standards and in a position to become a leader in Greek medicine.

However, this requires collaboration, so symposia are being held to raise public awareness of Pakistan’s progress in this area so that Pakistan can be classified as a developing nation in Greek medicine.
