@DrMaheenSheikh on vaccine injustice: High income countries at the vanguard of COVID related health innovation & vaccine production have naturally,but unjustly, spearheaded the world's transition to the new normal @ThinkGlobalHlth @AdilHaiderMD @Shahzad_Shamim @AKUGlobal

[Maheen Sheikh @DrMaheenSheikh]

Thank you @ThinkGlobalHlth for featuring our piece! Intellectual property sharing is crucial to combating vaccine inequity and mitigating the COVID-19 crisis. No one is safe until everyone is safe! @FyezahJehan

Pakistan fared well during earlier COVID waves, but hospital beds were inundated during the Delta variant surge in July 2021. Hospitals in Karachi shut down outpatient clinics and canceled elective procedures, say physicians Maheen Sheikh & Fyezah Jehan.

SRF held “Healthy Skepticism”, with Dr. Fyezah Jehan, Chairperson of the Dept of Pediatrics & Child Health at AKU.

Assisted by Dr. Maheen Sheikh (AKU '20), they showed how to verify the validity of studies & identify flaws that compromise their reliability

Stay tuned for more!

Excited about this! Our #DCRF fellow @DrMaheenSheikh and I will partner in this session, where we will talk about the benefits of balanced skepticism when appraising journal articles and how we can judge the soundness of evidence.
