Sindh Governor Imran Ismail lauded the endeavours of ZU and others extending their volunteer services to provide the best clinical services to children and adults suffering from communication disorders.
"I am impressed by the teamwork I witnessed. A number of organisations have failed due to lack of teamwork despite having the brightest minds in their establishments," he observed.
Addressing the students, Ismail said, "The university is not only preparing you academically but also teaching you to play your role in helping others. This is the quality you must build on. Your country needs your input and you must, at every stage of your life, play your part in bringing about a positive change and rid this country of corruption and poor governance."
