Karachi reporters are absolutely SHIT who toe to the line of anything anti Sindh Govt. The questions put forward to Dr Azra only defended Dr Faisal's incompetency, and some even went to quote that Pfizer vaccine is a 'fiasco.' Another said, why Sindh want vaccines immediately.
Another reporter asked if Sindh Govt even has the money for it. Dr Azra replied that we are testing for free which cost 6k while the vaccine will cost 2.5k to 3k while the treatment is 1.5 lac for free and therefore vaccine has to be procured asap.
Dr Azra makes a huge revelation about Federal Govt taking Sindh's hospitals. She says they've started it already and the plan is to remove all free tests and medicines as the hospital would run on contract. Only the doctor will see the patient for free. Rest will be charged.
No doctor or staff in NICVD will get pension or GP fund. There will be no free treatment, regardless of how cheap or expensive it is, in NICVD as per the new takeover of Sindh's NICVD and NICH.
Dr Azra points out that Sehat Card doesn't cover diabetes lifelong treatment, no does it cover hypertension or blood pressure medicines are covered in Sehat Card.

All staff will be on contract in new takeover and doctors and staff are very worried about this in the hospitals.
She then questions why things that work fine and brilliantly are being given to privatize. When Sindh Govt is running these hospitals brilliantly, and have been running it on their own expense TILL NOW, why is Islamabad interfering? It's nonsensical.
Dr Azra says schools in Karachi and Hyderabad, where the positivity rate is very high, educational institutions should NOT be opened at all.

The positivity rate is increasing, and there's no reason to open them.
