The gathering brought together leaders from healthcare, education, philanthropy, business and public life to celebrate the spirit of care, opportunity, and community.

(R) Prof. Dr. Muhammad Aslam, Executive Director GAK Dr. Khurshid Ahmad, Director ANTH Dr. Areej Neyazi, principals of IMDC and other constituent colleges, along with heads of departments, faculty members, clinicians, staff, and students graced the event with their presence.
The Guest of Honor, Zamurrad Khan, CEO of Pakistan Sweet Home, attended the event along with the organization’s management, staff, and hundreds of children whose confidence and enthusiasm filled the gathering with warmth and inspiration.
The program began with Tilawat and Naat recitations by the talented children of Pakistan Sweet Home, followed by inspiring motivational speeches that reflected the remarkable confidence and potential nurtured within the institution. A documentary screened during the event highlighted Pakistan Sweet Home’s inspiring journey and its evolution into one of the country’s most respected child welfare institutions.
Speaking on the occasion, Yasir Niazi paid tribute to Zamurrad Khan for his extraordinary humanitarian services and the inspiring journey of Pakistan Sweet Home. Emphasizing GAK HealthCare’s mission of making quality healthcare and education accessible to all segments of society, he recognized the promise and potential of the children and announced scholarships for top-performing students to pursue education in GAK HealthCare’s academic institutions. He also reaffirmed the group’s commitment to supporting the children through sustained medical care, preventive health initiatives, health awareness programs, and mentorship opportunities aimed at empowering them as future leaders.
Chairman Dr. Ghulam Akbar Khan Niazi also appreciated Zamurrad Khan and his team for their remarkable service to society and reaffirmed GAK HealthCare’s commitment to building a long-term collaborative relationship with Pakistan Sweet Home in the areas of education, healthcare, and social upliftment.
In his remarks, Zamurrad Khan thanked the leadership and family of GAK HealthCare for hosting the children with such warmth and respect. Reflecting on the journey since 2009, he shared how Pakistan Sweet Home began with a small group of children and gradually developed into a structured institution dedicated to nurturing future leaders with dignity, discipline, and education.
As the Maghrib call to prayer echoed and hundreds of children and guests broke their fast together, the evening reflected a powerful message of shared humanity, compassion, and collective responsibility.
Imran Ali Ghouri, Head of GAK HealthCare Communication, highlighted the broader vision behind such initiatives and the strategic direction championed by Group CEO Yasir Khan Niazi. “At GAK HealthCare, we increasingly view social responsibility through the lens of impact investment. Our leadership firmly believes that when institutions invest in education, health, and human potential, the real returns are stronger communities, capable professionals, and a more resilient nation. Supporting organizations like Pakistan Sweet Home is therefore not merely charity, it is a strategic investment in Pakistan’s future leadership, talent, and social stability.”
The Iftar Dinner stood as a powerful testament to the impact of meaningful partnerships, where healthcare institutions, policymakers, business leaders, and welfare organizations come together not only to share a meal, but to collectively invest in a more compassionate and empowered future for Pakistan.
