Getz Pharma Hosted the Launch Ceremony of Dr. Nauman Niaz’s Book “Myth & Reality: Type II Diabetes & Disease Impact in Pakistan”

Getz Pharma recently hosted the launch ceremony of the book, “Myth & Reality: Type II Diabetes & Disease Impact in Pakistan”, by Dr. Nauman Niaz at its Astola Facility Auditorium. 

The ceremony brought together prominent personalities from medicine, culture, media, and public life for an evening dedicated to awareness, reflection, and dialogue around one of Pakistan’s most urgent health challenges.

“Diabetes is not merely a clinical condition; it is a social, emotional, and national challenge,” said Dr. Nauman Niaz. “This book is my attempt to separate myth from reality and to encourage Pakistanis to understand the disease before it defines their lives.”

Speaking at the event, Khalid Mahmood, Executive Chairman of Getz Pharma, emphasized the organization’s commitment to advancing diabetes care while also supporting intellectual, artistic, and cultural initiatives.

“At Getz Pharma, we believe healthcare is not limited to medicines alone; it is also about education, access, prevention, and sustained public engagement,” said Khalid Mahmood. “Dr. Nauman Niaz’s book contributes meaningfully to the national conversation on diabetes, and we are proud to support a platform that combines scientific insight with cultural expression.”

The launch highlighted the growing need for multi-sector collaboration in addressing Type II diabetes, a condition that affects one in three adult Pakistanis continues to impact families and communities across the country. By combining expert insight, cultural performance, personal reflection, and public dialogue, Getz Pharma positioned the event both as a timely contribution to health literature and a critical call to action.

Getz Pharma is the first pharmaceutical company in Pakistan whose manufacturing facility is pre-qualified by the WHO Geneva and approved by member countries of the PIC/S and EAEU. It is the first and only pharmaceutical company in South Asia to achieve LEED Platinum Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
