ProtectHealth is the Health Ministry-appointed implementer of private medical practitioner participation in the national immunisation programme.
ProtectHealth says it was aware of several private healthcare providers, including general practitioners, who had taken to social media to invite the public to register for vaccinations at their facilities but said this was not allowed. We do not deny that private medical practitioners will be involved in Phase 2 and 3 of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme. However, they are not allowed to collect registrations through social media or other messaging applications to avoid confusion and misunderstanding among the public, ProtectHealth said in a statement Wednesday (May 12).

ISLAMABAD: The Labor Welfare and Social Protection Expert Group (LWSPEG) has recommended to the PTI led government that Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division (PASS) should be mandated to devise a mechanism for registering more than 51 million informal workers in Pakistan.
It recommended to register them with NADRA with the provision to initiate contributory pension and provide them medical coverage with the help of insurance companies. In the aftermath of Covid-19 pandemic, the need arises to develop a database of informal workers, so that the government can take care of them in case of any emergency situation in the future. The LWSPEG recommendations to implement the Mazdoor Ka Ehsas (MKE) programme stated that all informal workers belonging to agriculture and non agriculture should be registered in Pakistan.
