Speakers at a seminar held in connection with world mental health day celebrations have called for growth of national industry and economic uplift of the nation. The seminar was held at Nawaz Sharif Social Security Hospital Multan Road, Lahore.
The Punjab Employees Social Security Institution Commissioner Nadeem Aslam Chaudhry emphasised the need to work toward improving the physical, mental and social status of our industrial workforce, as it is very important for the growth of our industry and economic uplift of our nation. "We often ignore the preventive aspect of the mental illness in industrial workers", he said.
