At Premium Medical Complex (PMC), we recognize that diversity drives innovation. Today, we spotlight the incredible contributions of women researchers, clinicians, and participants who are shaping the future of medical science in Pakistan.
Why Gender Diversity Matters in Research
Historically underrepresented in clinical trials, women often respond differently to treatments than men. PMC is committed to:
- Ensuring equal representation in all research studies
- Studying gender-specific responses to therapies
- Empowering female scientists to lead groundbreaking studies
PMC’s Women in Science Initiative
Our dedicated program supports:
1. Female Research Leadership
- 45% of PMC’s principal investigators are women
- Mentorship programs for early-career researchers
- Flexible work policies for scientist-mothers
2. Women-Focused Clinical Trials

- Chronic condition management in women
3. Community Engagement

- Educational programs about women’s participation in research
- Partnerships with female healthcare providers nationwide
