As part of the prestigious ChestCon 2025, organized by the Pakistan Chest Society, a highly engaging and educational workshop on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) was successfully held.

The session opened with the recitation of the Holy Quran, setting a respectful and reflective tone. Dr. Arslan Rahatullah delivered an insightful presentation on the fundamentals of IMV, providing a strong foundation for the hands-on learning that followed.
