Bahawalpur: Dr. Munazza Fatima, an Assistant Professor from the Department of Geography at the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, has garnered international attention by presenting her research at a significant conference in the United Kingdom. Her study, focusing on the spatial heterogeneity and determinants of diarrhea among children under five in Pakistan, was featured at the prestigious UNICEF-organized conference on children and their families at the University of Bristol.

According to The Islamia University of Bahawalpur Pakistan, Dr. Fatima’s research paper, titled “Spatial Heterogeneity and Determinants of Diarrhoea among under-five year children in Pakistan,” utilizes multiple indicator cluster surveys to explore the geographical variations and causes of diarrhea incidents across different districts.
