Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology took part in the PANAH Health Mela to raise public understanding of diabetes and its critical connection to heart health. The institute used the event on World Diabetes Day to draw attention to the diabetes heart link and why early awareness matters for local families.
At the mela, cardiology staff engaged with attendees to explain how uncontrolled diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and what steps can reduce that risk. Emphasising the diabetes heart link, the team highlighted the need for routine monitoring and timely medical advice for those with high blood sugar or heart concerns.
The institute extended sincere gratitude to the Medical Superintendent for ongoing guidance and thanked the PANAH team and leadership for organising the event. The collaboration on World Diabetes Day reinforced shared goals between hospitals and community organisations across Rawalpindi and Islamabad to address combined diabetes and heart health challenges.
Committed to preventing diabetes-related cardiac complications, the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology called on residents to remain vigilant about risk factors and to seek professional care when needed. By keeping the diabetes heart link at the centre of community outreach, the institute aims to promote a healthier population across the region.
