He was addressing the inaugural ceremony of the international conference on "Updates on Management in Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery" organised by Labaid Cardiac Hospital at a local hotel Friday morning.
President noted with concern that South Asia comprising India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka is likely to be strongly affected by the increase in cardiovascular diseases.
