Institutions Cannot Be Built Through Instructions Alone: Aseefa

Abu dhabi: First Lady Bibi Aseefa Bhutto Zardari has emphasized that trust in public institutions cannot be built through instructions alone, but through listening, continuity, and genuine engagement at the community level. She expressed these views during a high-level panel discussion in the 2026 Zayed Award for Human Fraternity Majlis in Abu Dhabi today.

According to Radio Pakistan, Bibi Aseefa Bhutto Zardari drew on Pakistan’s experience, highlighting the globally recognised Lady Health Workers Programme as a powerful example of two-way communication between the state and households. This program brings healthcare, vaccination awareness, and dignity directly to families’ doorsteps. She described community health workers as the vital link between national health systems and families, particularly in reaching mothers and children.

The First Lady also stressed the importance of aligning education, family, and leadership in shaping values among future generations.
