According to the Sindh secretary for relief and rehabilitation, Roshan Shaikh, “all the staff in this new rescue service will be well-trained and well-equipped to deal with medical emergencies. The service will be launched in 10 districts in the first phase, most likely in the next few weeks,” he said. “The rest of the districts will be covered in the second phase.”
Shaikh was speaking at a seminar, titled ‘Management of Medical Emergencies in Karachi — An Expert Opinion’, organised by HANDS Pakistan and HANDS International at the Movenpick Hotel.
