Healing through stories: SIUT Children’s Hospital brings joy to young patients

Healing through stories at SIUT Children’s Hospital: nurturing young hearts with compassion and care

KARACHI: At SIUT Children’s Hospital, healing goes far beyond clinical treatment. In a recent initiative blending storytelling, emotional care, and community support, young patients and their families were treated to a heartwarming session that brought smiles, warmth, and a deep sense of connection.

Led by Nusser Saeed, founder of GoRead.pk, the session engaged children in an interactive Urdu story, followed by lively discussions and shared laughter. Designed as part of SIUT’s broader commitment to holistic pediatric care, the event reminded everyone present that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and comforted.

The event was made even more meaningful by the presence of Prof. Adib Rizvi, Founder and Director of SIUT, and Dr. Sajid Sultan, Head of Paediatric Urology. Their support reaffirmed SIUT’s vision of creating a child-centric environment rooted in dignity, compassion, and trust.

“This hospital is more than just a place for medical treatment—it’s a space for healing minds, building memories, and nurturing hope,” shared one caregiver.
