KARACHI: As part of its week-long World Children’s Day celebrations, the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) organised a spirited “Walk for Children’s Rights” at the AKU Sports and Rehabilitation Centre (SRC) Walking Track. The event brought together children, parents, students, teachers, doctors, staff, and the wider community in a powerful demonstration of support for children’s wellbeing, protection, and empowerment.
The walk served as a highlight of AKUH’s week-long celebrations, which featured thoughtfully curated activities across multiple paediatric and outpatient spaces. Throughout the week, children participated in play therapy sessions in paediatric wards, student-led debates, and creative showcases designed to encourage expression, confidence, and learning.
Activities were also held across AKUH’s Off-Campus Hospitals in Karimabad, Garden, Kharadar, and Hyderabad. Special engagements in outpatient clinics brought moments of joy to children and families visiting for care, ensuring that celebrations extended across all hospital services and touched communities beyond the main campus.
The flagship walk at the SRC Walking Track brought energy and colour to the day, featuring a lively marching band, firefighting demonstrations, placards created by students, and a student video showcase uplifting the voices of young participants. Each element reinforced this year’s theme, highlighting the importance of nurturing safe, inclusive, and creative spaces for children.
