Pakistan receives Rs517m coronavirus aid as cases decline

Pakistan has received €2.5 Million (around Rs500 million) and Rs17 million in aid from the EU and American Business Council, respectively, for coronavirus relief.


These funds will be used to support the country’s COVID-19 response with a special focus on the social and economic impact of the pandemic on the most vulnerable.

The European Union’s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid department will for a year assist WHO Pakistan to strengthen the country’s healthcare system. Around 1.42 million people will be supported in Sindh’s Sukkur and Larkana districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Peshawar, Swat, Abbottabad districts, and Balochistan’s Kech and Khuzdar districts.

The focus is on improving risk communication, mobilization, disease surveillance and laboratory diagnostics and infection prevention, and case management on the community level.

“Despite the decline of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the country, the threat of a second wave still remains,” said Ambassador of the European Union to Pakistan Androulla Kaminara. “It is critical to continue following SOPs and build capacity overall, especially in regions where it is most needed.”

On the other hand, a delegation of American Business Council met Prime Minister Imran Khan and presented a cheque worth Rs 17 million for the PM’s Corona Relief Fund, reported the APP.

Earlier, the Council had donated Rs20 million to the fund.
