Success Stories

She introduced a fully functioning allergy center where she has been diagnosing and treating allergic disorders since 2016. This is the first clinic in KPK where the services being offered are on a par with services being offered at centres in the UK and USA.
She is very pleased to share that her first batch of 4 patients who were started on allergen desensitisation treatment (Immunotherapy) have successfully completed 3 years of their treatment and with the grace of ALLAH two of the allergic asthma patients have come off of their inhalers and other allergy medications.
