CM Maryam Nawaz Pledges to Boost Awareness on Neurological Health
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has reaffirmed her commitment to raising awareness of neurological disorders across the province, marking World Brain Day with a powerful public message.
Importance of Cognitive Health
In her statement, the chief minister emphasized the brain’s critical role:
“The human brain is an exceptional creation of the Higher Power. The World Brain Day reminds us about focusing on the neurological disorders.”
She added that neglecting cognitive well-being amounts to overlooking life itself:
“The human brain is the most complex and incredible system that exists in the universe. Ignorance of cognitive health is tantamount to neglecting life.”
Social Impact of Brain Disorders
CM Maryam highlighted the often-overlooked struggles of those affected, stressing that neurological conditions bring both physical stress and societal indifference:
“People with neurological disorders not only have to bear pain but also fall prey to the social apathy.”
Call for a Healthy Mindset
Underlining the practical benefits of mental wellness in everyday life, she stated:
“Thinking positively and making constructive decisions can only be possible with good cognitive health.”
Why It Matters
World Brain Day serves as a global reminder to prioritize mental and neurological well-being. Disorders like dementia, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and brain injuries can significantly affect individuals and families. Mental health awareness is essential in reducing stigma and encouraging early diagnosis and intervention.
Next Steps for Punjab
The CM’s message sets the tone for potential future initiatives: public education campaigns, screening programs, and community outreach focused on brain health. Strengthening support systems and integrating cognitive wellness into healthcare planning will be vital.
