The event, held at a local hotel was attended by the Consul General of Germany, MALC CEO Marven Lobo, and others. Addressing the ceremony, the Chief Minister said MALC\u2019s journey from a leprosy control programme to a pioneering humanitarian institution is truly commendable. He noted that the organisation stood by people once marginalised and treated as social outcasts, serving them with compassion, dignity, and unwavering commitment. Paying rich tribute to Dr Ruth Pfau, the Chief Minister said her name has become synonymous with the fight against leprosy in Pakistan. He acknowledged the vital role of the Daughters of the Heart of Mary, the congregation to which Dr Pfau belonged, in shaping MALC\u2019s enduring legacy. He also expressed gratitude to the people of Germany for their consistent humanitarian support since 1962, calling Dr Pfau a powerful symbol of compassion that transcended borders.
