Health DG Dr Zahid Pervaiz said the Health Department had asked the WHO to provide emergency health kits, diarrhoea kits, water purification tablets, anti-snake venom, anti-rabies vaccine, primaquine tablets to treat malaria and rapid diagnostic kits to aid early diagnosis. The finance secretary urged the WHO to gather international and local NGOs on one platform for a rehabilitation campaign. Participants agreed to these proposals and decided to evolve a strategy to involve university students in the government’s rehabilitation activities.
