MS Dr Amir Ghafoor Mufti, Director Gynecology Dr Samina Tofique, Ulfat Nazir, Arifa Rehman and others were also present. The PGMI Principal said that from November 1, the unique facility was introduced for the first time in any public sector hospital where women were being vaccinated against corona separately and so far the results were encouraging. Prof Al-freed Zafar said in view of the imminent threat of new type of corona, it had become imperative for everyone to be vaccinated and there. He said public health experts should come forward to further improve the strategy of prevention and protection against corona as suspension of hospital affairs due to corona had resulted in delay of treatment and surgery to the general public.
