He said he has always been impressed with the incredible generosity of Pakistanis who give to the less fortunate, especially during Ramazan and Eid.

“The US-Pakistan health partnership against coronavirus has kept growing during Ramazan and into Eid.

The United States just added another $6 million in new funding, including from our Centers for Disease Control, to strengthen Pakistan’s response by expanding training for health workers who take care of patients in hospitals with severe cases, preventing the spread of coronavirus in healthcare facilities, and providing a fourth mobile lab to test and treat Pakistanis living in virus hotspots,” he announced.
