KARACHI: Reminding people to remember and implement the spirit of Eidul Azha, health experts on Tuesday urged the public to exercise caution regarding their dietary habits and meat consumption to avoid medical emergencies during the festive occasion.

In a statement, Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) Secretary General Dr Abdul Ghafoor Shoro cautioned that the sudden shift to heavy, meat-dominated meals can put a severe strain on the digestive system.

“Hospitals and clinics historically witness a sharp spike in emergency room visits during the days of Eid due to acute gastrointestinal issues,” he said.
