The Federal Minister for Health, Mr. Mustafa Kamal, has declared urgent actions due to the continuing nationwide emergency. Hospitals across Islamabad are now operating under an emergency protocol, requiring all healthcare workers to be prepared at all times. Leaves for physicians, nurses, para-medical professionals, and administration staff within the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of Health have been rescinded, mandating immediate return to work. Additionally, Mr. Kamal has withdrawn from planned trips to Geneva and Qatar, emphasizing, “My primary concern right now is addressing our internal circumstances and safeguarding public wellbeing.”
A round-the-clock Emergency Rapid Response Center has been set up within the Federal Health Institution to evaluate and address health crises connected to the ongoing conflict. This center will work closely with both provincial and district-level healthcare bodies for coordinated action. Provincial health officials have received instructions to maintain continuous communication with the federal ministry and to frequently revise their emergency protocols according to federal guidance.
