🛑 Strengthen Public Health in Pakistan: A Call to Action

Public health in Pakistan is facing a critical juncture. Despite the presence of dedicated officers, political influence continues to undermine merit-based recruitment and effective decision-making. Recent experiences—such as interviews conducted by PRCS Pakistan—highlight the lack of transparency and fairness. Qualified professionals are being overlooked, and overqualification is used as a reason to sideline capable candidates.

This is not just a matter of employment—it’s a matter of national health security.

Pakistan must urgently address:
✅ Completion of Rubella and viral vaccinations by 15 of September 2025 must have to done but not done yet.
🦟 Rising cases of Dengue fever
🌴 Emergence of tropical skin diseases
🧬 Persistent threat of Polio, despite being a nuclear-armed nation
If these issues are not tackled with sincerity and urgency, the consequences will be devastating. I appeal to WHO, INGOs, NGOs, and the Ministry of Health Pakistan to take deep, real, and verified steps toward strengthening public health infrastructure.
If given the opportunity and resources, I pledge to make Pakistan polio-free within one year, allowing us to redirect efforts toward cancer vaccines and other critical health initiatives.
Let us build a merit-based, transparent, and accountable public health force. The time for symbolic gestures is over Pakistan needs real action.

The Current Epidemic: Influenza A (H3N2) - Important Awareness Post
There's a viral outbreak spreading across Pakistan that mimics dengue-like symptoms, but dengue tests consistently come back negative. The main issue isn't dengue; it's Influenza A (specifically H3N2), and it's dominating OPDs everywhere.
Symptoms start like a regular cold: sneezing, sore throat, mild fever, body aches. Gradually, back pain, joint pain, and headaches intensify, accompanied by dizziness and nausea. The fever spikes, often reaching 103-104°F, and lasts 3-6 days. Patients feel extremely weak, lose appetite, and experience taste changes.
Once the fever subsides, a new challenge begins: thick nasal discharge leading to sinusitis, foul-smelling phlegm, nasal congestion, and persistent cough. The patient becomes so weak they can't get out of bed.
Dengue tests are negative because it's not dengue. Influenza A causes fever, body pain, and weakness but doesn't drastically lower platelet counts.
Key advice:
●Rest
●Stay hydrated
●Steam inhalation
●Symptomatic care
●Multivitamins for weakness
●Seek medical attention if breathing difficulties, high fever, or dehydration occur

Pakistan is currently battling Influenza A (H3N2), causing widespread fever, cold, weakness, and sinusitis cases.
