Since more than 90% of rare diseases lack effective treatment, a robust palliative care network becomes crucial for ensuring and enhancing patients' quality of life. This task becomes increasingly complex due to the intricate nature of these diseases.

In loving memory of Saadia Iqtidar; the Creative Head of FIK Atelier, and a rare disease warrior, the atelier offers palliative care certification scholarships to medical professionals across Pakistan.

Despite the challenging realities of rare conditions, including managing symptoms and dealing with ongoing uncertainties, palliative care offers invaluable support and improves the well-being of patients. This program offers scholarships to aspiring palliative care professionals, nurses and social workers pursuing palliative care certification in Pakistan.
