KARACHI: Getz Pharma in collaboration with Scaryammi, the country’s largest and most involved mothering community, organized a three-day Conference on Motherhood And Child Health. The first of its kind virtual conference, this event was geared toward educating mothers to become more aware and informed.
The mantra of this conference is simple: informed and aware mothers are better mothers. Dr. Wajiha Javed, Head of Public Health and Research at Getz Pharma, is thrilled by the content of the conference.
“We at Getz Pharma are very excited to partner with Scaryammi for a first-time-ever maternal and child health conference where young women and girls will be able to learn about how to tackle everyday health and wellness issues related to women’s health. Ayesha has always been the pioneer whenever it comes to raising voices at the right time and I am very thankful that we were able to contribute to this amazing initiative.”

“This conference is truly a dream come true! I am so humbled and honoured that GETZ joined hands with Scaryammi in this noble mission of educating mothers and making them aware,” she said.
The virtual event kicked off with a physical launch event at the stunning auditorium of Getz Pharma. This event was hosted by the charming Anoushay Ashraf with actresses Sunita Marshall and Azeka Danial in attendance. The event focussed on panel discussions about nutrition and women, wellness in mothers, and the roles of Vitamin D, Calcium, and Multivitamins in the overall well-being of a mother.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch of this conference, Anoushay Ashraf said: “I am so excited to be part of such a novel event where the aim is to ensure that mothers are educated and made aware of their parenting journeys.”
