Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Human Resources Development, presented Columban Fr Robert McCulloch with the Extraordinary Achievement Award 2025 on 16 September 2025 during a function hosted by Ambassador Ali Javed at the Pakistan Embassy in Rome. Columban Fr McCulloch, an Australian member of the Missionary Society of St Columban, was honoured for his contribution to Pakistan in 2025 in the field of healthcare at St Elizabeth Hospital Hyderabad. This includes the construction of a new Palliative Care Day Centre at St Elizabeth which will be blessed and opened on 17 October and is the first such palliative care facility in Pakistan. St Elizabeth is already the palliative care leader in Pakistan through its free home-based palliative care nursing.
Columban Fr McCulloch has facilitated collaboration between St Elizabeth Hospital and Mater Hospital Brisbane and a MoU will be signed in the last week of October for teaching at St Elizabeth School of Nursing and for clinical nursing development at St Elizabeth by personnel from Mater Hospital.
