UHS Debates Society

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Conflict is everlasting. One cannot fathom a world devoid of disagreement. Hence, healthy debate and discussion is necessary in the field of conflict management, especially for those related to healthcare, since their jobs rescue lives. I believe that the power of voice is remarkably dominating, and those who have the skills of public speaking, conflict resolution, and leadership, are those who govern the world. It is my dream to contribute more Pakistani public speakers to this conflicting world, who will emerge as pious, honest, and just world leaders.

VISION

To equip students with the skills of public speaking, argumentation, persuasion, and confidence that will assist them in all fields of life.

Mission:

The mission is to produce effective, confident public speakers and debates under the UHS flag who will specialize in healthcare, and later become innovators in this field. Healthcare systems in Pakistan are suffering because of foundational and time-relevant errors, since we have been unable to adopt the advanced medical practices of the world. UHS Debates Society wishes to debate regarding many healthcare domains, which include social, cultural, organizational, and other aspects. In this process, the students will be exposed to the university culture of many institutions in various competitions, forums, and MUNs.
