Every challenge brings an opportunity. Pakistani docs should take this as a war drill that we might see repeated against India when time comes..Field hospitals and SOPs should be made now and exercised so we get over it smoothly when time comes..

I hope the teams designing affordable ventilators around the world and especially in Pakistan make sure to take into account all the features needed in a ventilator. Otherwise they may end up doing more harm then good.
btw thanks to the Pakistani team designing ventilators and China for supplying the 2000 ventilators

Coronavirus: Pakistan's health system may be tested in coming weeks, warns Asad Umar

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Asad Umar said on Sunday that the coming weeks can test Pakistan as coronavirus cases in the country crossed 3,000.
Umar was briefing the media about the coronavirus situation in Pakistan at the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) where he thanked the public for adhering to the government's safety precautions. The minister credited the government's measures of banning public gatherings for bringing down the rate of the virus spreading but warned that it does not mean the toll may not rise further.
"Had the steps [closures] not been taken, the disease would have spread at a much faster rate," he said.
However, the minister expressed the government's concerns that the coming weeks can be difficult for the country's health system. "The rate at which the infection is spreading, we are seeing that the limits of our health system will be tested in coming days," he said, adding that the difference between the facilities, hospitals and quarantine zones being set up by the government and the spread of the coronavirus will diminish in the coming weeks.
Umar said that the bans that the lockdown measures were not only hurting the poor but the affluent as well. He said that keeping this in mind, the government was working to formulate a strategy based on which an affected person or area is identified and that individual or place is quarantined so that it does not affect others.
He said that Pakistan's testing capacity was limited when the first cases were reported in the country but with each passing day, it was increasing. Umar said that Pakistan was taking special measures to protect the health professionals who were battling the coronavirus on the front lines.
The minister said that he could not predict whether the bans in place will increase or decrease after April 14. "Today, I cannot tell you whether the bans will increase or not from April 15," he said. "Those decisions will be taken this week."
He paid tribute to the doctors, nurses, armed forces personnel, NGOs and the people for coming to each other's aid in these testing times. "Insha'Allah, we will make it out of this difficult time," he concluded.

Will expand capacity to conduct 25,000+ coronavirus tests daily until end of April: Asad Umar
ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister Asad Umar said on Tuesday that the government aims to eventually increase its coronavirus testing capacity up to 25,000 per day until the end of this month.
The federal minister was addressing a press conference, along with Special Assistant to PM on Health Dr Zafar Mirza, where he spoke about the coronavirus spread in the country.
Umar said that the federal government is doing everything to aid the province in the battle against the disease.
Speaking on the Ehsaas programme, he said that in the first phase, around four million households will be given cheques to aid them during this difficult time. The cheques will be given through 16,923 point of sales across the country.
He explained that the point of sales system has been put in place to encourage social distancing and to ensure that people do not infect each other with the coronavirus.
The minister said that the government will send 153 ventilators to hospitals across Pakistan, starting Thursday.
“The federal government is working for people throughout Pakistan in each province. It is working for healthcare workers, businesses, and other institutions,” he said.
Umar cautioned masses regarding the dangerous spread of the coronavirus and how it can prove lethal. “Britain is recognised for having the best healthcare system in the world yet its PM Boris Johnson has been shifted to an ICU,” he said.
‘Huge number in recovery phase’
SAPM Dr Mirza said that in the country the number of confirmed caes is 3,434 and a huge number is in the state of recovery.
He said that in the past 24 hours, 577 new cases were registered, while so far, 429 have completely recovered.
“28 patients so far are in the ICU,” said the SAPM, adding that the death ratio due to the virus is 1.4 in Pakistan.
He expressed hope that in the near future medical kits in millions will be available across the country, saying that the number of laboratories conducting the tests will be increased to 32 and then 40.
As of Tuesday, Pakistan recorded more than 4,000 cases of the coronavirus and 55 deaths.
