This move has put children’s lives in jeopardy, since multinational companies who were responsible for supplying the vaccines might not continue with the contract next year.
The vaccines supplied by the companies were used in the vaccination of children from viruses like polio, measles, and hepatitis, among many others.
According to the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI), the government had given the tender to different multinational companies for the distribution of vaccines. However, when the time arrived for the payment of the vaccines, AGPR and ministry of health started having differences.

If the public money is being used irresponsibly, it is the responsibility of AGPR to stop it. Our country has been plundered by hooligans who play around with public money under the pretext of 'serving the people'. Certain individuals have exploited these vaccination programs for their personal benefit; expired vaccinations have been used in the past and children have died. It is imperative to stop these people from playing with people's money and lives. If AGPR has stopped such fraudulent payments, it is commendable.

@Mirza Why do you drag Army into every matter? Civilian governments are responsible for this poor administration of health. This matter needs to be sorted out sensibly. Already countless innocent lives have been lost to measles both in Sindh and Punjab. PPP and PMLN governments are responsible for this. We have ourselves to blame who have voted for them again.
Polio workers are killed because they want to save children after giving them polio vaccine.
Now the Accountant General have stopped the payment for purchase of vaccines.
This is just one example of an imbalanced society.
What to talk about other matters and issues?
