Jazz, the country\u2019s largest digital company,\ncontinues to play a leading role in supporting the government authorities in\nthe fight against the spread of the virus. In a recent development that\nshowcases support for the local healthcare sector in its fight to save human\nlives, the mobile operator has provided ten patient monitors along with\npersonal protective equipment (PPEs) to the Pakistan Institute of Medical\nSciences (PIMS), Islamabad, helping more than 3000 patients daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from assisting PIMS, Jazz will also be providing\nPPEs, patient monitors, and ventilators to more hospitals across the country. PPE\nkits have the potential to help thousands of doctors, nurses, and paramedics\nwhereas one ventilator can help support up to seven critical patients. These\nefforts are part of the PKR 1.2 billion relief support announced earlier by\nJazz, primarily to help the most vulnerable communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This support comes at a critical time as hospitals\nacross the country are burdened due to the increasing numbers of positive\ncoronavirus cases. Medical professionals are expecting thousands of critical\npatients in need of urgent care in the coming days following the end of the\nnationwide lockdown. These monitors are to be installed for COVID-19 patients\nin isolation wards to ensure comprehensive medical care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMachinery for an overburdened health sector is where\nmost of the preventable deaths happen. We have stepped in to support advanced\nCOVID patients, to give them the best shot at recovery,\u201d said Jazz CEO Aamir\nIbrahim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are thankful to Jazz for this great\ninitiative and for supporting PIMS when assistance is needed the most.\nInitially, when Jazz approached us they offered to provide ventilators but our\nneed was for patient monitors which they have furnished,\u201d said Dr. Ansar\nMasood, Executive Director at PIMS. \u201cAdditionally, Jazz also provided us with\nPPEs which is the foremost requirement for our frontline doctors and nurses. We\nhope to work together with great spirit in the future as well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the coming weeks, Jazz will continue doing all it\ncan to support the healthcare sector. Almost all initiatives under the PKR 1.2\nbillion relief pledge revolve around vulnerable communities, and health and\nwelfare organizations. Apart from providing medical equipment, free COVID-19\ntests at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, and weekly food rations to\nthe families most affected by the lockdowns, Jazz has also contributed a total\nof PKR 108 million to the PM Covid-19 Relief Fund, under direct donation and\nits Matching Grants program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
