Dr. Thelma King Thiel, Chairwoman and CEO of Hepatitis Foundation
International joins fight against Hepatitis in Pakistan
Washington, DC: A special session of core group of supporters of
"Hepatitis in Pakistan Project" was held by the Forum for Justice and
Democracy in Pakistan, in a local restaurant in Washington DC Metro
area on Saturday, December 20, 2008. Dr. Thelma King Thiel,
Chairwoman, and Chief Executive Officer of Hepatitis Foundation
International was invited as a keynote speaker. The session was
facilitated by forum's Chief Organizer Mr. Iqbal Tareen.
In an open and informal conversation with the group, Dr. Thiel pledged her cooperation and support in the fight against Hepatitis in
Pakistan. She praised the convergence of various individuals and
advocacy groups on the Forum and assured of her continued cooperation for this cause.
Dr. Thiel cited decades of experience and accomplishments of her
foundation in creating awareness and educating the educator in USA and worldwide. Hepatitis Foundation International plays vital role in
working with US Government, Congress, and global organizations in
influencing public policy. Dr. Thiel has been highly instrumental in
creating local and global awareness about the threat of this epidemic.
In her presentation Dr. Thiel emphasized the need for investing time
and resources in awareness and education of doctors, nurses, and all
health related workers about the causes and prevention of Hepatitis.
She mentioned that even in countries like USA, many medical
professionals are not fully aware of basic facts about Hepatitis. She
stressed a need for simplistic audio-video educational tools for
children as well as adults. Dr. Thiel assured host and members of
"Hepatitis in Pakistan Project" of her cooperation and knowledge
transfer and knowledge sharing to be adopted in local languages by and for local communities in Pakistan.
Dr. Thiel reiterated her willingness and need for working very closely
with members and leadership of "Hepatitis in Pakistan Project" to look into the ways how her Foundation can help governments and NGOs in Pakistan to fight this epidemic.
Forum's Chief Organizer, Mr. Iqbal Tareen reiterated vision of the
organization to work as a credible and effective facilitating platform
between international donors and support groups and governmental and non-governmental organizations on the ground in Pakistan. He also mentioned how past US Aid and foreign support for similar causes have been reduced to either employment creation or money making opportunities without significantly addressing the real problem. Mr. Tareen said that it is the mission of this group to become strong vigilante for the people of Pakistan and make sure of the transparency and accountability of every effort and resource used for this purpose.
