شاکر علی کی
پروفیسر ڈاکٹر
روبینہ حنیف سے خصوصی ملاقات

اسلام آباد، جمعہ 4 ستمبر 2026، صبح 11 بج کر 20 منٹ شاکر علی نے نیشنل انسٹی ٹیوٹ آف سائیکالوجی، سینٹر آف ایکسی لینس، قائداعظم یونیورسٹی اسلام آباد کا دورہ کیا، جہاں ڈائریکٹر پروفیسر ڈاکٹر روبینہ حنیف سے خصوصی ملاقات اور تفصیلی گفتگو ہوئی۔

ملاقات کے دوران نفسیات، نوجوانوں کی ذہنی صحت، تعلیمی رہنمائی اور معاشرے میں نفسیاتی شعور اجاگر کرنے کے مختلف پہلوؤں پر تبادلۂ خیال کیا گیا۔ ایف ایم ریڈیو کے ذریعے عوام اور بالخصوص نوجوانوں تک نفسیاتی آگاہی اور ماہرین کی رہنمائی پہنچانے کی تجویز پر بھی گفتگو ہوئی۔

پروفیسر ڈاکٹر روبینہ حنیف نے بتایا کہ نیشنل انسٹی ٹیوٹ آف سائیکالوجی میں نفسیاتی ہیلپ لائن بھی قائم ہے، جہاں بڑی تعداد میں لوگ فون کرکے اپنے مسائل بیان کرتے ہیں اور ماہرینِ نفسیات انہیں مشاورت اور ضروری رہنمائی فراہم کرتے ہیں۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ ذہنی صحت کو جسمانی صحت کی طرح اہمیت دینے کی ضرورت ہے۔ ملک میں ایسے ہسپتال اور مراکز قائم ہونے چاہئیں جہاں نفسیاتی علاج، مشاورت اور نگہداشت کی مناسب سہولیات کے ساتھ ضرورت کے مطابق نفسیاتی مریضوں کے لیے بستروں کا بھی انتظام ہو۔

ملاقات کے اختتام پر پروفیسر ڈاکٹر روبینہ حنیف نے شاکر علی کو یادگاری شیلڈ اور سووینئر پیش کیا۔ ملاقات کو علمی، تحقیقی اور معاشرتی حوالوں سے ایک مفید اور بامقصد نشست قرار دیا گیا۔

Particular emphasis was placed on bridging the gap between administrative responsibilities and the provision of psychosocial care.
