DEEPEST CONDOLENCES
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
The Pakistan Society of Clinical Oncology (PSCO) express their profound grief and deepest sorrow on the sudden and untimely passing of Dr. Tariq Siddiqui, a highly distinguished and globally respected hematologist and oncologist of Pakistan.
Dr. Siddiqui was a pillar of excellence in the medical community. Based in the United States, his lifelong dedication to oncology, unparalleled commitment to patient care, and contributions to advancing cancer treatment touched the lives of countless colleagues, trainees, and patients across borders. He was visiting Pakistan to be honored with a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding services when he met his sudden demise in Karachi. His passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the global and local oncology fraternity.
We extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to his grieving family, friends, and colleagues during this immensely difficult time. May Almighty Allah grant him the highest ranks in Jannah, forgive his shortcomings, and give his loved ones the strength and patience (Sabr-e-Jameel) to bear this monumental loss. Ameen.
I am pleased to invite all oncology professionals to connect with the Pakistan Society of Clinical Oncology (PSCO) through our official mobile app, providing easy access to PSCO updates, scientific activities, ONCO activities, events, announcements and more, all in one place.
We will be gradually updating and enhancing the app, with more features and content to come. The iOS version will also be launched on the Apple App Store soon.
I encourage all my fellow oncologists, residents and other oncology professionals to download the app and stay connected with PSCO.
Dr. Azhar Rashid
President, PSCO
