We present our Final Edition for 2021 with encouraging news on the COVID front while 
unfortunately Dengue fever cases rise menacingly straining our health care system. In Pakistan 
the deadly 4th wave of COVID has finally ebbed with lowest infectivity rates due to increasing 

vaccinations Alhumdolillah.  We pray humanity is relieved of this deadly disease. 

For Proceedings 2021 saw the highest number of article submissions since its inception. Over a 
hundred research articles on wide ranging topics were submitted and vetted as Per HEC 

Guidelines.

professionals and wide ranging basic and applied research.  All articles have been judged on 

stringent international criteria of plagiarism and blind peer reviews. 
 

We have achieved expanded viewership, with researchers in diverse medical fields from different 
institutions publishing their research in Proceedings
