Making Pakistan Proud, Professor Khalid Khan Excels In Fields of Health Science Research
With the pandemic wreaking havoc across the globe, one of the most important things that have helped curtail the spread thus far has been medical research. However, there is still an apprehension when participating in research, especially that for covid-19.
Distinguished investigator, Professor Khalid Khan, who has dedicated his expertise to Pakistan while working with Dr. Ghazna Siddiqui, the advisor to Prime Minister Imran Khan on health emergency, explains:
“It’s unfortunate for people to have the perception that participating in research is an experiment and receiving care for covid-19 outside research is not. The real experiment is the provision of care without evidence for something that did not exist before.”
