Vaccination of girls against cervical cancer planned
During the meeting, Saba Kalhoro stressed on the importance of collaboration between the health and education departments to ensure the campaign's success.
The health department will form teams to implement the vaccination campaign, while the education department will provide the total number of girls enrolled in primary, secondary, and higher secondary schools across the district. The department will also conduct awareness programmes before the vaccination campaign to educate parents and girls about the importance of the vaccine.
The health department has urged parents to cooperate with the vaccination teams and ensure their daughters receive the vaccine. The Sindh government, health department, education department, and other relevant institutions will work together to make this campaign a success.
The meeting was attended by key officials, including District Health Officer Dr Pir Ghulam Hussain, Polio Task Force In-charge Dr Jamshed Khanzada, District Emergency Operation Centre In-charge Dr Waqar Dahar, and World Health Organization Immunization Officer Dr Najma Tariq.

Cervical cancer prevention drive on the cards
As part of Pakistan's ongoing national immunisation programme to protect children from twelve life-threatening diseases, a new and critical initiative is being launched to vaccinate girls aged 9 to 15 against cervical cancer — a highly fatal yet preventable disease. The vaccination campaign is set to begin in Rawalpindi on September 18, with the District Health Authority (DHA) already initiating the training of master trainers in preparation. Cervical cancer, primarily caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), carries a staggering mortality rate of 85%. Health experts emphasise that a single dose of the vaccine is sufficient to provide lasting immunity against the virus, offering a powerful defence against one of the most lethal forms of cancer affecting women globally. Until now, Pakistan's immunization efforts have focused on protecting children from twelve major diseases — tuberculosis, diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, tetanus, pneumonia, polio, diarrhoea, typhoid, TB, and hepatitis B. However, the rising number of cervical cancer cases, particularly among young girls, has raised alarm across public health circles. Pakistan now ranks seventh globally in cervical cancer prevalence. Medical experts stress that early vaccination — between the ages of 9 and 15 — not only strengthens the immune response but also offers long-term protection before potential exposure to the virus. According to Dr Ehsan Ghani, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DHA Rawalpindi, the campaign will be rolled out in phases, beginning in Punjab and Sindh, and later expanding to Islamabad, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), and Balochistan. To ensure smooth execution, training programmes for vaccination teams are already underway. Master trainers are being equipped with specialised knowledge, and a comprehensive micro-planning framework has been finalised. Teams will function at three administrative levels — Union Council Medical Officers (UC MOs), Deputy District Health Officers (DDEHOs), and District Health Officers (DHOs) — to ensure coordinated implementation. The initiative will be closely monitored by international partners, including UNICEF and the World Health Organisation (WHO), to uphold global standards of safety, efficiency, and effectiveness.

EU top diplomat tells Israel to stop killing Gazans at aid points
BRUSSELS: EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Tuesday told her Israeli counterpart that Israel's military 'must stop' killing civilians at aid distribution points in Gaza. Meanwhile a spokesman for the bloc also condemned any attacks against the World Health Organization after the agency said its facilities in Gaza had been targeted by Israeli forces. Kallas wrote on X that 'the killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible'. 'I spoke again with Gideon Saar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points,' she wrote. The European Union early this month said it had struck a deal with Israel to allow more access into Gaza amid Israel's devastating military operation. Gaza hospital says 21 children died from malnutrition and starvation in 72 hours Kallas has laid out a series of actions that EU states could take against Israel unless the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza improves. 'All options remain on the table if Israel doesn't deliver on its pledges,' Kallas wrote on X. EU officials have said there have been some improvements for aid access to Gaza, but that a lot more needs to be done. 'Channels are open and pressure is actually being put on the Israeli counterpart, so time is of the essence,' EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni said. The spokesman also condemned attacks on 'any WHO premises or any hospitals' after it said Monday its facilities in Gaza had come under Israeli attack. 'Let's be clear: premises of WHO must not be attacked and must be protected,' he said. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the Israeli military had entered the UN agency's staff residence, forced women and children to evacuate on foot, and handcuffed, stripped and interrogated male staff at gunpoint.

Trump pulls US from WHO pandemic reforms
President Donald Trump's administration said Friday the United States was rejecting changes agreed last year for the World Health Organization on its pandemic response, saying they violated US sovereignty. Trump on returning to office on January 20 immediately began the withdrawal of the United States from the UN body, but the State Department said the language from last year would still have been binding on the United States. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, who is a longtime critic of vaccines, said that the changes "risk unwarranted interference with our national sovereign right to make health policy." "We will put Americans first in all our actions and we will not tolerate international policies that infringe on Americans' speech, privacy or personal liberties," they said in a joint statement.
