KARACHI: Rotary International Inner Wheel Club Karachi Universal, District 327, recently invited Prof. Dr. Farzeen Tanwir, Head of the Periodontology Department at Bahria University Health Sciences, to speak at Bint-e-Fatima Old Age Home for Women.
During her visit, Dr. Tanwir emphasized the critical role of oral health in enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life for older adults.

Dr. Tanwir urged the residents to prioritise oral care, highlighting that regular dental check-ups, a balanced diet, and proper oral hygiene can significantly improve health, confidence, and social interactions as one ages.
At the event, Colgate toothbrushes and toothpaste samples were distributed among the elderly residents. Donations from the Inner Wheel Club were also given to the Bint-e-Fatima Foundation.
