ISLAMABAD: A posthumous ‘Tamgha-i-Imtiaz’ will be conferred upon the doctors and health workers who embraced martyrdom while providing medical treatment and care to the patients during the Covid-19 pandemic.

As per the decision taken by the outgoing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the state honour will be awarded to 81 doctors from Punjab, 87 from Sindh, 23 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, eight from Balochistan, four from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and one each from Gilgit Baltistan and Islamabad.

Similarly, 59 nurses and frontline health workers from across Pakistan would also be honoured with Tamgha-i-Imtiaz (posthumously) for their services and saving lives of people without caring about their own lives during the corona pandemic.

The prime minister, in a statement, paid tributes to the doctors and frontline health workers who served the corona patients risking their own lives.
