Dr. Shanullah, a medical expert, provided valuable insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hypertension. Dr. Hamed Mahmood, the hospital's chief, lauded the improvements in healthcare services made possible by MERF's management. District Health Officer Dr. Inayat Ur Rehman praised the hospital staff and MERF administration for their dedicated service in tackling hypertension.

Raising awareness about hypertension is crucial in promoting public health and preventing serious complications. Events like the one held at District Headquarters Hospital Wana play a vital role in educating the community and encouraging proactive measures to combat this silent killer.
