Referring to the efforts of Dr. Moiz for the promotion of Urdu language and his writings on science, Hifzur Rahman, secretary, Press and Information, Indian Embassy, said his new book was an informative, effective and useful tool for diabetic patients.

Urdu writers rarely write on science, he said, however Dr. Moiz has not only contributed a number of articles on the subject but also dedicated himself for the promotion of Urdu and writing on science.
