Karachi, August 05, 2022 (PPI-OT):In a first for Pakistan and a big milestone for the nursing fraternity in the country, Dr Rozina Karmaliani, Dean of the Aga Khan University School of Nursing and Midwifery, AKU-SONAM, becomes the first Pakistani nurse to be inducted as Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, AAN.

AAN is one of the largest international organizations of nursing, catering to the generation and dissemination of nursing knowledge for improved healthcare outcomes and nursing practices worldwide.

The AAN Fellowship is the highest honour bestowed to nursing professionals for the impact they have made on healthcare through education, practice, research, and policy – for championing health and wellness, locally and globally. The nomination and selection of members is done through a rigorous process after which the inductees are expected to make global impact on future healthcare policies.

Among nearly 3,000 Fellows of AAN worldwide inducted over the past 50 years of its existence, Dr Karmaliani is the first and only member within Pakistan and the Central and South Asian regions, putting the country on the map in the field of nursing.

“I am truly honoured to be representing Pakistan on such an important global platform. With the rapidly shifting trends in healthcare, it is crucial for nurses from the developing world to have a seat on the table where important policy dialogues and decision-making takes place, so they can have a bigger impact on healthcare outcomes and nursing practice on this side of the world,” commented Dr Rozina Karmaliani.

Dr Karmaliani is the first alumna Dean of AKU-SONAM, Pakistan, and has been associated with the Aga Khan University for nearly three decades, serving the institution in various leadership, research and academic capacities. She will be recognized for her contributions in healthcare and officially inducted as member of the Academy at AAN’s annual Health Policy Conference taking place on October 29, 2022, in Washington, DC.
