ISLAMABAD:
Federal authorities at the forefront of the battle against coronavirus were determined on Thursday to turn the page on the pandemic with extra precaution on Eidul Azha next week, as the single-day tally of new cases kept on rising this week, fuelled by the Indian-origin Delta variant.
A few weeks ago, there was less than 2% coronavirus positivity ratio across the country, indicating that the third wave of the disease, which surfaced in March, had subsided. But now there had been a streak of days with the positivity rate surpassing 4%, amid grim warning of a fourth wave.
ISLAMABAD: The employees of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) on Saturday appealed to Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani to play his role in the rejection of Medical Teaching Institution (MTI) bill which suggests the hospital should be run through a board of governors (BoG).
The employees said they were also contacting senators from both the ruling and opposition parties to lobby for the rejection of the bill.
On June 28, the Senate Standing Committee on National Health Services (NHS) rejected the bill. As the bill was promulgated through a presidential ordinance it could only be extended once for 120 days. However, the second term of the bill is going to lapse on July 13.
