IFMSA-Pakistan SIMS LC

A sneak peak from our last activity 'Inconceivable hope' which happened on 13th june, 2022 in collaboration with SCORA NT, CMH LC and AIMC LC.

[𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲] [𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗔-𝗡𝗧 × 𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗦-𝗟𝗖×𝗖𝗠𝗛-𝗟𝗖×𝗔𝗜𝗠𝗖-𝗟𝗖]

Infertility is a life crisis affecting patients all over the world. It's a silent struggle that leads to depression and anxiety. Inconsistency and disparity in the access to fertility care services adversely affect the marginalized populations. In such situations, education and awareness-raising interventions are in dire need.
*SCORA NT* hereby brings you a national activity [Inconceivable Hope] in collaboration with *CMH-LC × SIMS-LC × AIMC×LC* to highlight the prevalence and determinants of infertility and the psychological pressure related to it. Your presence will be highly appreciated.

SIMS LC is hosting an activity on mental health awareness, *"OVERCOMING LOSSES---RISING FROM THE ASHES"*

We always bond with other people, based on similar interests and aspirations. But there are times when our bondings become toxic, yet we are unable to heal or move past those relationships. We are willing to sacrifice our peace of mind and maintain contact with those people even at expense of our mental wellbeing.

This activity is meant to address this prevalent cause of distress in the lives of young people. It will help you identify if a similar situation is disturbing your social and psychological wellbeing. Our mission is to equip you with coping strategies to overcome your losses and rise from the ashes, learn to unshackle the chains of human addiction and be stronger and better versions of yourselves.

Get yourself registered for the on-ground activity on the 28th of May, 2022

Time: 2-4 pm

There is no greater inhumanity in the world than hurting or belittling a child.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞 is one of the most shameful and despicable existing human rights violations. Violence against children has become a significant global concern nowadays.

According to data released by an NGO, eight children in Pakistan are abused every day in one form or the other. Let’s stay united to provide an environment where our little flowers are safe from any harm.

Why do we celebrate Kashmir day? It is observed to show Pakistan's support and unity with the people of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, appreciate efforts of people of Kashmir for independence, and to pay homage to the Kashmiris who have died in the conflict.

[𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨]

𝑱𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒂𝒉... 𝑨 𝑴𝒂𝒏 𝑶𝒇 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒎, 𝑨 𝑺𝒚𝒎𝒃𝒐𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓
Shakespeare once said, "Some people are born great and some people make themselves great by their deeds."

Founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah is a role model for the whole nation. With his dynamic leadership, political strategy and unbending will he won the hearts of millions. Despite all the obstacles that Jinnah faced, despite the fact that he himself knew he was dying he never backed out of his quest for the formation of Pakistan.

"𝐹𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑢𝑛𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑒." Jinnah’s eyes were ‘𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡.’ He is never reported to have lied. This helped him to win the hearts of Muslims and make the impossible possible.

Let us hope that the youth of Pakistan learn from him and live up to the Quaid's expectations. -e-Azam -Pakistan

Hundreds tested positive in 2019 after a whistle-blower doctor uncovered a scandal involving reuse of needles in southern Sindh province.

Since his son was diagnosed with HIV during a mass outbreak among babies and children in Pakistan, Shahzado Shar has often been forced to choose between food and medicine.

His five-year-old was one of the hundreds who tested positive in 2019 after a whistle-blower doctor uncovered a scandal involving the reuse of needles in southern Sindh province.

The number of patients quickly swelled and two years later, the figure stands at more than 1,500, according to data from the provincial health ministry.

HIV is recognized as a health concern in Pakistan with the number of cases growing. Moderately high drug use and lack of acceptance that non-marital s*x is common in the society have allowed the HIV epidemic to take hold in Pakistan, mainly among injecting drug users (IDU), male, female and transvestite s*x workers (MSW, FSW and TSW) as well as the repatriated migrant workers. HIV infection can lead to AIDS that may become a major health issue.
