A committee meeting to review key health sector initiatives was held in Islamabad today with Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar in the chair.

The meeting examined proposals to facilitate the recruitment of Pakistani medical practitioners, particularly dentists, in international health institutions outside Pakistan.

Participants also evaluated the technical and regulatory aspects of exploring domestic vaccine production and technology transfer in collaboration with friendly countries.

Ishaq Dar highlighted these initiatives as vital to showcasing the expertise of Pakistan's healthcare professionals.

He emphasised the importance of establishing transparent, well-coordinated mechanisms to expand global avenues for health professionals while simultaneously accelerating efforts towards local vaccine manufacturing and licensing.
