Fateh Jang, Oct. 28, 2008: “Involvement of community people for health education is an ideal methodology for refurnishing their lives to make them an active member of society.” These views were shared by Dr. Riaz-ul- Haq, Deputy Director Training, Red Crescent Society, Pakistan who was the chief guest of Primary Health Curriculum Launching Ceremony that was arranged by TM School Health System (TMSHS).

She is sponsoring not only this project but is rendering her whole hearted efforts in various other projects. Our special guest, Farida Himat Khan, Acting Director Shifa College of Nursing and TMF officials and the teaching staff of TMCE were also present at the ceremony.
