A Monumental Tribute: Siemens Healthcare and Pakistan Post Honor 130 Years of X-Ray Technology with a Special Postage Stamp
On March 23, 2025, Pakistan Day, which commemorates 130 years after the invention of X-rays, Pakistan Post and Siemens Healthineers released a commemorative postage stamp as a magnificent nod to scientific ingenuity and patriotism. In addition to celebrating more than a century of medical advancement, this momentous event fell on Pakistan Day, which honors the Lahore Resolution of 1940, which established the framework for the nation.
The effort demonstrated the strength of scientific advancement and the spirit of national resolve by fusing these two important turning points. Siemens Healthineers has played a key part in the revolution in medical diagnostics brought about by X-ray imaging since Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s revolutionary discovery in 1895. Siemens Healthineers has shaped the future of medical technology from its predecessor businesses’ early industrial production of X-ray tubes and its pioneering work in computed tomography, mammography, and minimally invasive therapies.
Siemens Healthineers has made a substantial contribution to the development of healthcare in Pakistan. Its cutting-edge products have helped physicians across identify illnesses early, provide targeted therapies, and enhance patient care. Siemens Healthineers has expanded its presence into previously underserved locations by providing high-quality diagnostic services and digital connections.
Siemens Healthineers invests €1.5 billion a year in research and development worldwide, propelling breakthroughs in digital health solutions, interventional radiology, and medical imaging. The future of diagnostics has been redefined by Siemens Healthineers, which has a portfolio of almost 24,000 technical intellectual property rights, including over 15,000 awarded patents.
The commemorative postal stamp served as evidence of advancements in science and medicine. It was released on March 23, 2025, which is Pakistan Day, and it reaffirmed Siemens Healthineers’ commitment to using innovation to enhance healthcare and people’s lives.
