Pfizer Pakistan hosted a symposium to celebrate 'World Health' day where experts highlighted the importance of micro-nutrients and multi-vitamins for a healthy life. This year's topic for the World Health Day is 'Ageing and Health' with the theme of 'Good health adds years to life'.
Dr Inkisar Ali, a leading paediatrician, said in his address, "Lack of proper diet and food leads to micronutrient deficiencies including vitamins which further create complications for growing up children and therefore, the importance of micro-nutrients intake cannot be ignored."
Dr Farrukh Naheed, Associate Professor, Gynecology Department, Baqai Medical University, speaking on the value of various vitamins and minerals during pregnancy said, "Iron deficiency is one of the leading causes of complications during pregnancy, which can be mitigated by the use of supplements."
The day also marked the launch of Pfizer Pakistan's Health Essentials portfolio, which includes a bouquet of leading and globally trusted multivitamin supplements.
Vice President of Pakistan Nutrition and Dietetic Society, Fayza Khan, highlighted the role of good nutrition throughout the life cycle. "Every one of us should realise the importance of meeting our daily nutrient and vitamin needs, as they play a significant role in our healthy development and ageing."-PR
