KMU holds breast cancer awareness seminar

 

The growing number of breast cancer patients in society is a major challenge for all of us that can be met through joint efforts, especially through large-scale mass awareness. These views were expressed by Prof. Dr. Muhammad Saleem Gandapur, Registrar, Khyber Medical University (KMU), Peshawar, while addressing a seminar on Breast Cancer Awareness organized by Quality Enhancement Cell at KMU Multi Purpose Hall. Prof. Dr. Abid Jamil, Head, Department of Oncology, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Dr. Saima Abid, President, Public Health Association, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Dr. Amjad Ali and Asiya Bukhari, Director, QEC- KMU also addressed on the occasion.

Prof. Dr. Muhammad Saleem Gandapur termed the holding of the seminar as a need of the hour and said that the rising rate of malignant diseases like cancer is a major challenge for the entire society as well as medical research institutes and medical professionals. He said that early diagnosis of cancer could not only save the lives of cancer patients but also reduce the huge cost involved.He said that this insidious disease can be combated by creating awareness among the people on a large scale.

Earlier, experts elaborated on the statistics, causes, prevention and treatment of breast cancer, saying that 9.8 million women in Pakistan are affected by breast cancer, which leads to high-risk countries. Timely diagnosis of breast cancer can reduce the number of deaths per year by 90%. They said that the rising rate of breast cancer in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa can be estimated from the number i.e 15000 of patients suffering from breast cancer every year. ۔ Experts say that cancer usually affects the breast, bones, lungs, liver and stomach, with the highest rate being noted in the breast. They said that according to modern research and international standards, cancer can be easily diagnosed through CT scan instead of ultrasound and X-ray.  They said that timely diagnosis of various stages of cancer could not only make the treatment effective but also prevent the loss of precious human lives.

Experts say that cancer is no longer incurable but due to high cost of treatment, in a poor and backward country like Pakistan, treatment is often beyond the reach of patients. They said that 32% of the 200,000 cases of cancer that occur in Pakistan every year are from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the treatment of which costs from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 5 million. They said that one lakh people are dying every year due to this insidious disease which is a major challenge for the survival of humanity. They said that a study conducted on cancer patients at HMC has revealed that the average income of most cancer patients is only Rs.22000/= per month.

They said that with the special interest of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, an eight-year project at a cost of Rs. 8 billion for the treatment of poor and needy cancer patients under a public-private partnership in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies in HMC. So far 6358 patients have been registered out of which 2000 patients have been treated during the year 2019. Experts emphasize that breast cancer can be controlled and cured by creating more awareness about breast cancer.

KMU launched mental health research project - DiaDeM, worth 3 million GBP

Khyber Medical University (KMU), Peshawar in joint collaboration with the University of York, UK, launched a mental health study project titled “ Developing and Evaluation an adapted Behavioral Activation intervention for people with Depression and Diabetes in South Asia” worth 3 million £ amounting to PKR. 636,461,028.90. this multi-country, multi-center research project is funded by the National Institute for Health Research, UK. Other partner organizations include along University of Southampton UK, University College London UK, Hull York Medical School UK, Institute of Psychiatry Rawalpindi, Diabetic Association of Bangladesh, Hayatabad Medical Complex Hospital Peshawar, Tees, Esk & Wear Valley NHS Trust UK, University of Leeds, UK and Ark Foundation, Bangladesh.

 

 

Main theme of the project is “There is no health without mental health”. This collaboration aims to develop and test a culturally appropriate approach to the recognition and treatment of depression in people with diabetes in Bangladesh and Pakistan based on Behavioral Activation. Core team of the project consists of chief investigator Dr. Najma Siddiquee UK, principal investigator Prof. Dr. Zia ul Haq, co-principal investigators Prof. Dr. A.H Amir and Dr. Saima Afaq KMU-IPH & SS. 

 

Launching ceremony of the said project was held here at KMU multipurpose hall, Secretary Health KP Mr. Syed Imtiaz Ali Shah was the chief guest whereas founder Vice chancellor of KMU Prof. Dr. Muhammad Daud Khan was guest of honor. Besides others, VC KMU Prof. Dr. Zia ul Haq, Registrar KMU Prof. Dr. Muhammad Saleem Gandapur, member Senate KMU Mr. Zia ul Haq Sarhadi, President Psychiatrics Association Prof. Dr. Mukhtar ul Haq and renowned Diabatologist Prof. Dr. A. H. Amir were also present at the occasion.

While talking to the ceremony, health experts told that health care systems in low and middle-income countries face the growth of mental and physical multi morbidity. Type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing, particularly in South Asia where depression in type 2 diabetes represents the largest combined mental and non-communicable disease burden. People with long-term physical health conditions, such as diabetes, have a 2-3 fold increased risk of depression. Outcomes for depression and diabetes are significantly worse for both conditions when they occur together. 

 

They emphasized a joint approach to care is needed using a scalable intervention to recognize and treat depression, integrated with diabetes care. Behavioral Activation is a relatively simple, effective and culturally portable psychological therapy for depression, which can be delivered by non-specialists. DiaDeM has potential to improve mental and physical health, reduce inequalities and stigma for vulnerable groups and provide economic benefit. This program will enhance capacity in applied mental-physical multi-morbidity research and policymaking, they added.

KMU has been issued with NOC for PhD in Nusring.

 NOC for PhD in Nursing issued. A great milestone achieved in the field of Nursing Sciences.

Thanks Almighty Allah
