Awareness Saves Lives – A Message from Birth Defects FoundationDuring a recent weekly OPD, a young man visited Professor Dr. Afzal Sheikh, convinced by someone that he had an issue with his gender identity. After a thorough examination, Dr. Afzal Sheikh assured him that he was completely healthy and had no such issue. The young man was so relieved and overjoyed that he immediately asked his family to speak with Dr. Afzal over the phone to share in the good news.Similarly, two young girls faced significant challenges later in life due to issues that could have been resolved during childhood—had there been awareness and timely intervention. Their parents, unaware of treatment options, struggled for years. Thankfully, the Birth Defects Foundation provided them with complete guidance, clarity on all aspects, and the freedom to make informed decisions.All of this progress is only possible because of your continued support in spreading awareness. When you share our message on social media, you help save real lives. In fact, many individuals have said that they only learned about the Foundation and its work through social media—and that’s when they realized they too should get checked.Only Allah can truly reward your efforts—we are simply grateful for your support.Contact: 0308-5781723Birth Defects Foundation
