The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) on Monday urged people to comply with the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) and other relevant restrictions. The PMA also asked people to get themselves vaccinated at the earliest by registering themselves with the immunisation system, and advised the government to increase the number of vaccination centres in the country.
Addressing a news conference at the PMA House Karachi, the association’s office-bearers said they have been requesting the government and the public for the past three weeks to play their role in controlling Covid-19 in Pakistan. They said they had warned in advance that Covid-19 cases could increase during Ramazan if the SOPs were not implemented and complied with.

KARACHI: Hardly 10 of the doctors and healthcare providers who lost their lives due to Covid-19 in Pakistan were directly involved with the treatment and management of the disease, the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has claimed, demanding the resumption of the coronavirus vaccination to all healthcare workers without any delay.
“Of the 192 doctors who lost their lives in Pakistan, around 182 were ordinary doctors and healthcare providers who contracted the disease from asymptomatic patients,” PMA General Secretary Dr Qaiser Sajjad told The News on Sunday.
“Every healthcare provider in Pakistan is a frontline healthcare worker because they are risking their lives by treating known as well as asymptomatic patients of Covid-19.”
