ریبیز: علامات ظاہر ہونے کے بعد موت 100٪ یقینی

Photo courtesy of World Health Organization  دنیا کی قدیم ترین بیماریوں میں سے ایک کا خاتمہ کرنے کے لیے ہمارے پاس ویکسینز، دوائیں، آلات اور ٹیکنالوجیز موجود ہیں۔ مل کر ہم ریبیز کو ختم کر سکتے ہیں! اگر آپ کا کوئی عزیز ریبیز کی علامات ظاہر کر رہا ہو اور موت 100% یقینی ہو، تو یہ خبر دل دہلا دینے والی اور انتہائی تکلیف دہ ہوگی۔ آپ خود کو بے بس اور پریشان محسوس کریں گے، کیونکہ آپ کے پاس کوئی راستہ نہیں ہوگا کہ آپ انہیں بچا سکیں۔ یہ خیال کہ آپ کا کوئی پیارا اس لاعلاج بیماری سے گزر رہا ہے، دل کو چیر دینے والا ہوگا۔ آپ غم، خوف، اور دکھ کے گہرے سمندر میں ڈوب جائیں گے۔ ایک بار جب وائرس مرکزی اعصابی نظام کو متاثر کر لیتا ہے اور طبی علامات ظاہر ہو جاتی ہیں، تو ریبیز سے موت 100٪ یقینی ہے۔  ریبیز 150 سے زائد ممالک میں ایک سنگین صحت کا مسئلہ ہے، جو زیادہ تر ایشیا اور افریقہ میں پائی جاتی ہے۔ یہ ایک وائرل، زونوٹک بیماری ہے جو سالانہ ہزاروں اموات کا سبب بنتی ہے، جن میں 40% بچے 15 سال سے کم عمر کے ہوتے ہیں۔ کتے کے کاٹنے اور پنجے مارنے کے واقعات 99% انسانی ریبیز کیسز کا سبب بنتے ہیں، اور ان کو ک...

Advocacy in Action: Rescuing PNMC from the Brink of Collapse

by Shabbir Hussain Jhatial  The best representation yet. The logic, the articulation, and the wisdom—all matchless.    Dr. Raisa Gul, Ms Yasmeen Saggu, Ms. Zahida, and all leaders in the protest across  the provinces deserve admiration for their selfless endeavors.   Let us all play our multidimensional roles: the roles of advocacy, leaders  struggling in popular movements on the roads, think tanks, and above all, the role of narrative builders. Integrating all these efforts into a full-fledged movement will make success inevitable.   Let us extend our "Save the Council" Movement, i.e., the "Survival of PNMC Movement," to find out the root causes of PNMC's crises over the years and solve the chronic issues that have weakened the council, making it vulnerable to losing its identity.  Let us not compromise. Let us not hide the dirty truths of the existing PNMC scandals that we know too well but are reluctant to  speak about. This cove...

Fact Check: Nursing and Paramedic Councils are NOT merging Globally

A post circulating on social media in Pakistan claims that several countries have a single regulatory body for nurses, midwives, and paramedics. However, the reality is more complex and varies from country to country. Many countries maintain separate councils for these professions to safeguard their professional identities and uphold high standards of care.     In most cases, separate regulatory bodies ensure that each profession receives the specialized attention it needs, enhancing the overall quality of healthcare.  Merging these bodies could dilute professional standards, as the requirements and scopes of practice differ greatly between these fields.     Examples:   Australia   Although the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) oversees several health boards, nursing, midwifery, and paramedics are regulated by distinct boards—the Nursing and Midwifery Board and the Paramedicine Board—maintaining their autonomy...

Press Release: Nursing Midwifery Stakeholders Across Pakistan Make Grand Alliance against Merger of their Council

Press Release The national Icons, Deans, Federations Leaders across Pakistan expressed extreme dismay over proposed merger of Pakistan Nursing & Midwifery Council(PNMC) with Allied Health Professional Council(AHPC) in the name of the rightsizing move of the Federal Government.

Whoever saves a single life is as if he has saved the entire humanity

By Shabir Hussain Jhatial Ex Director Nursing Sindh . Many lives are lost due to delayed response to natural disasters or man made catastrophies, accidents before they even reach the hospitals. The uncertainity for life and health is caused by changing life styles, unsafe industrialization, pandemics and the ever changing environmental degradation. Many people in our beloved country lose their hardly earned resources for the treatment or become disabled or suffer from irreparable damages.  Numerous studies and field observations indicate that if such victims receive timely medical assistance, many lives could be saved, and many could be spared from permanent disability and other socio economic and psychological losses. Keeping these avoidable losses in mind, the Provincial Health Minister has encouraged various First Aid entities such as1122 and PSLP (Pakistan Life Savers Program) who have been promoting the teaching of life-saving skills to volunteers in the capital city, Karac...

Story of How Nursing Diploma Updraded to BSN Degree

After years of uncertainty about the fate of the diploma, the Pakistan Nursing council has finally abolished the General Nursing Diploma programme. The diploma would be replaced with a bachelor's degree in nursing, Generic BSN. This decision has not been taken suddenly. Like other diploma programmes in other fields, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) had indicated the replacement of the diploma with a degree in 2015.

What is PNC Licensure Exam and Why is it Necessary?

by Khalil Ahmed Jatt, Head Nurse, PIMS, Islamabad  PNC Licensure Examination is a written test of the Generic BSc Nursing graduates that is conducted by the Pakistan Nursing Council to determine the preparedness of the graduates for nursing practice. Recently, the examination has been abolished by PNC due to some understandable reasons. Some people are of the view that PNC licensure examination for GBSN is unjust and unnecessary. Their perspective is based on the following arguments: When there are university exams then we do not need to appear for an extra exam. There is no licensure examination for the diploma holders therefore, there is no need for licensure exam for BSN graduates. Other healthcare professionals in Pakistan do not go through such examination, therefore this exam is unnecessary for BSN graduates It is not conducted internationally. PNC can not conduct a transparent examination. Many toppers failed in the licensure examination. Licensure exa...
