KARACHI: The highly anticipated seminar on Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) tax compliance and Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC) registration, jointly organized by Dental News Pakistan and the Pakistan Dental Association (PDA) Karachi Chapter, has been postponed in light of escalating regional tensions between Pakistan and India.
Originally scheduled for May 14, 2025, the seminar was designed as a vital capacity-building initiative for dental professionals, clinic managers, administrative staff, and finance officers working in Sindh’s private dental sector. The session aimed to demystify complex tax obligations and healthcare regulatory requirements while providing actionable compliance strategies through expert-led presentations and a live Q&A with relevant authorities.
However, following extensive feedback from stakeholders and in response to the evolving geopolitical climate, the organizers made the difficult but necessary decision to defer the event until conditions are deemed safe for all participants.
“The safety and well-being of all attendees is our highest priority,” said the organizing team in an official statement. “Given the current uncertainty and security concerns in the region, we believe that postponing the seminar is the most responsible course of action.”
The decision was made after consulting with relevant professionals, registrants, and supporting institutions. A new date for the seminar will be announced as soon as the situation allows the event to be conducted in a secure, inclusive, and productive environment.
The organizers have also expressed deep appreciation for the overwhelming interest shown by dental professionals in this initiative and have reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the professional development and compliance literacy of dental practitioners in Sindh.
Participants who have registered will remain on the list and will be notified directly once the new date is confirmed.
