On World Brain Day (July 22), the Patients’ Aid Foundation at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) reaffirmed its mission to deliver lifelong brain health services to Pakistan’s underserved communities. The foundation is redefining access to neurological, psychiatric, and cancer care—making advanced treatment free and equitable for all.
