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 کتے کی ویکسینیشن اور کاٹنے سے بچاؤ کے ذریعے روکا جا سکتا ہے۔

28 ستمبر کو ہونے والے عالمی ریبیز دن پر اس بیماری کے بارے میں مزید جانیں، اپنے آپ کو کیسے محفوظ رکھیں اور اس کے خاتمے میں کیسے مدد کر سکتے ہیں

Difference Between Post-RN BScN & Generic BSN (Updated 2023)

Are you confused about the terms BSN, BScN, Generic BSN, Post-RN, BS Nursing, and BSc Nursing? We receive many questions about these terms at PKN. This updated post will clarify these terms, especially in the context of recent changes in Pakistan. In short, the Generic BSN is a degree program for individuals who wish to join the nursing profession after 12 years of schooling, while the Post-RN BScN is a degree program for nurses who already have a three-year diploma in nursing.  Generic BSN The Generic BSN is an ideal option for those who want to enter the nursing profession in Pakistan. Previously, another option to join the nursing profession was the 3-year diploma in general nursing. However, according to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan's policies, the diploma in nursing was phased out across Pakistan in 2018.  The Generic BSN is a 4-year degree program followed by a one-year internship. An internship involves practical nursing practice in a hospital under

This aims to seek the wise attention of Hon. Sindh's Minister for Health on burning issue of PNMC

by Shabbir Hussain Jhatial  Honorable Madam Minister   اسلام علیکم ! With reference to tagged news item linked to your views on PNMC mayhem and its solution , I humbly put my observations in good faith and in enhancement of better quality of the nursing workforce for which your good offices have been striving for. In this context I as a privy to PNMC,  submit my sincere observations to substantiate the expressed point of view about its decentralization. Hon.  Madam ! As per my understanding, the existing legal and procedural pisition, this is desirable and feasible possible if provincial governments convince the Federal Government to decentralize the Council to provinces in the wake of rightsizing policy of the Federal Government. Since statuary Councils are in concurrent list and to decentralize it, the consent of central government seems mandatory. In the background of utter failures of PNMC functioning according to its statuary mandate, the MoNHSR&C and some INGOs have termed PN
