Awards Won

Saima Wazed's primary accolade was the WHO Mental Health Award 2025, which recognised her advocacy for mental health, particularly in the context of autism awareness. Her work with the Shuchona Foundation and her appearances at United Nations events helped raise international awareness of neurodevelopmental disorders in South Asia. However, her legacy has been tarnished by the corruption charges and her subsequent imprisonment, which overshadow these earlier contributions.
