With so many events happening in K-town, I got the amazing opportunity to attend one of the most auspicious events of the year, the "Hakim Saeed Awards". Late Hakim Mohammad Saeed, the founder of Hamdard Pakistan is always remembered for his utmost services in herbal medicine and humanity. The great legacy of Hamdard Pakistan is known for over 100 years and the journey is still pacing towards the success everyday and another. Pioneers in herbal medicine, Hamdard Pakistan is serving the people of Pakistan in the most desirable way and that's not all, it is as popular abroad as in Pakistan.
The beautiful ceremony of Hakim Saeed Awards was arranged at the most astonishing location of Mohatta Palace where all the arrangements were done massively and on-point. It was my very first visit to such a place and while attending this warming event, I wondered how much beautiful a historical place can be. We were warmly greeted at the entrance of the venue by the management of the event who guided us towards the red carpet. If we talk about the red carpet, there was a hustle and bustle with people who have done something extraordinary in their respected fields. I was happy to see Dr. Atta-Ur-Rehman, Talat Hussain, Anwar Masood, Bushra Rehman and many others who were then making their way towards the main ceremony ground.
A beautiful customized green wall was present at the venue with Love Pakistan - Build Pakistan written on it, while the Hakim Saeed Award structure was placed right in between.
As soon as the arrival of the Governor Sindh Mr. Zubair Omer was announced, all the guests were requested to reach the ceremony ground so that the main event can start right on time. While welcoming all the guests, Dr. Muzna Ibrahim who was the host of the evening, warmly welcomed the Governor Sindh Mr. Zubair Omer. The event started with the recitation of Holy Quran followed by National Anthem that warmed our hearts even more. Then came Mr. Talat Hussain with his evergreen Soulful voice who took us through the journey of Late Hakim Muhammad Saeed, his overall hardwork and struggle. Then the host invited Mr. Usama Qureshi, MD and CEO Hamdard Pakistan who briefed us about the new initiative and re-branding of Hamdard.
After the brief address from Mr. Usama Qureshi, Dr. Muzna invited Chairperson Hamdard Pakistan Mrs. Saima Rashid, daughter of Late Hakim Muhammad Saeed and Mr. Zubair Umer, Governor Sindh to come on the stage and reveal the new identity and new logo of Hamdard Pakistan.
With the great announcement of corporate re-branding, the new TVC of Hamdard Pakistan was announced along with a soothing signature Qawwali by Abu Mohammad depicting the essence of Hakim Mohammad Saeed and Hamdard Pakistan.
The program concluded with MR. Zubair Ahmed addressing the audience, some mesmerizing satirical poetry by none-other-than Mr. Anwar Masood and a story recital by Mr. Talat Hussain. The guests were then invited for dinner and after a scrumptious break a grand Qawwali night awaited us by Abu Mohammad and Humnawa taking us back to the world of Sufism.
With great hopes and best wishes, I congratulate the whole team of Hamdard Pakistan for organizing such an amazing event that has marked itself in the history of Pakistan. May success keeps its door open for you always and everywhere. Ameen
