Title of Story : Varying Healthcare Capacities Remain Major Challenge During 5th Wave Of COVID-19 Pandemic
Summary : FAFEN’s findings of the third pandemic governance monitoring report, released on Sunday, reinforce the need for consistent and continued vigilance and the necessity of both medium and long-term structural and policy changes built on the lessons learnt. The report covers Pakistan’s COVID-19 response during January-February 2022. Compared to the earlier waves, the report highlights a broad two-pronged pandemic response to the fifth surge of COVID-19 that helped Pakistan withstand and manage the challenges relatively well. The first aspect of the response comprised varying levels of restrictions and targeted measures in areas with high positivity rates. The second wave comprised a parallel push for increased vaccination and broadening the eligible population section to include the 12-16 age group. A remarkable increase of 30 million to the fully vaccinated column during the first two months of the ongoing year is a testament to the seriousness accorded to the effort.
