“Our organisation is purely concentrating on providing protective equipment, and other essential products to the medical professionals, who are our frontline defenders. The foundation is collaborating with Al-Khidmat Foundation, one of the largest charities the country, and Pakistan Islamic Medical Association to provide the medical equipment at government-run hospitals. We have made the lists of all the people in the hospitals who might get exposed to the virus including doctors, nurses, and even janitorial staff. “We have long warned the government that the issue of doctors’ safety will assume an alarming proportion. Doctors and nurses working without safety kits are fast contracting the virus,” Dr Qaisar Sajjad, the secretary-general of PMA, said.
