KARACHI:

Federal Health Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal has said that while significant health research is being produced in Pakistan, the real challenge lies in translating that research into actionable policies and real-world improvements in healthcare.

Speaking at the 6th International Medical Research Conference (IMRC) in Karachi, Kamal emphasized the urgent need to link research with policy execution. "As soon as I return to Islamabad, I will call for all research reports from HealthRAB and other institutions and ensure their implementation," he said, adding that the health ministry must move from words to action.
