Islamabad (NNP) Health and service are intrinsically linked to the essence of humanity, and those in the medical profession should embody the spirit of social service. Dr. Babar Elahi, Chief Executive Officer of Walkant, emphasized this ethos during a recent conversation. With nearly four decades of dedicated service to medicine and society, Dr. Elahi has made significant contributions to healthcare.
Reflecting on his journey, Dr. Elahi shared that his inspiration came from his mother, who was also a medical professional. “She had a strong desire for me to enter the medical field. The day I became a doctor, her first advice was to treat patients with good manners and compassion, and to help them as much as possible,” he recounted. This maternal wisdom has guided Dr. Elahi throughout his career, leading him to treat thousands of underprivileged patients free of charge.
In addition to his individual efforts, Dr. Elahi and his team organize free medical camps in remote areas, providing essential medical services and medications to those in need. The hospital under his leadership regularly conducts seminars, workshops, and training sessions for paramedical staff, ensuring continuous professional development and enhanced patient care.
Dr. Elahi also offered practical health advice, recommending light exercise, increased water intake, and careful consumption of salt and fats to maintain optimal health.
