18 illegal aesthetic centres sealed
Assistant Director of SHCC Ahmer Abbas Saldera stands beside a pile of discarded, empty beauty drips at an illegal aesthetic clinic in DHA Phase II. PHOTO: EXPRESS The Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC) has stepped up its crackdown on unregistered and illegal aesthetic clinics operating in the metropolis, sealing at least 18 facilities over the past month in different neighbourhoods, including Clifton, DHA, Saddar, Ittehad Town, and Ranchore Line. In most cases, the clinics were operating without qualified medical professionals, with procedures being administered by untrained staff, including a sociology graduate running a clinic in DHA. SHCC officials reported widespread violations such as unhygienic conditions, improper disposal of medical waste, and the use of unverified techniques, including skin-whitening drips and anti-aging treatments. "We have inspected more than 80 suspect clinics so far, and the crackdown will continue until such illegal practices are rooted out," Ahmer Abbas Saldera, Assistant Director of SHCC's Anti-Quackery Wing, told The Express Tribune. In a recent raid, SHCC sealed a clinic in DHA Phase II despite efforts by the owner to intervene via phone calls. Video footage of the raid, along with disturbing visuals of unsanitary conditions at other clinics, has been shared with the media, revealing the grave risks posed by these clinics. SHCC Chief Executive Officer Dr Ahson Qavi Siddiqi urged the public to avoid unverified aesthetic centres and stressed that all procedures, including skin therapies, injectables, facials, and beauty drips, must be administered only under the supervision of Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC)-certified dermatologists. "There is currently no PMDC-recognised qualification in aesthetics in Pakistan. Many so-called 'aesthetic experts' are either physiotherapy graduates or those without any formal medical background. Their operations, often marketed on social media and morning TV shows, are misleading and medically unsound," he said. Dr Siddiqi added that some clinics prominently display large promotional billboards featuring fake designations and celebrity endorsements. He warned that such practices not only violate the law but also endanger the lives and well-being of unsuspecting clients. The SHCC is now in the process of drafting technical guidelines to regulate the aesthetics sector, with an aim to allow only certified, evidence-based practices. CEO Siddiqi also expressed concern over the role of mainstream media, particularly morning shows, where unqualified people are frequently introduced as "doctors" dispensing beauty advice and medical tips without proper credentials. He pointed out that, due to a legal grey area, SHCC is currently unable to inspect salons offering aesthetic services unless a formal complaint is received. He called for comprehensive legislation to bring such services under regulatory oversight. Among the procedures being offered at these clinics are PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy, Botox and dermal fillers, LED light therapy, micro-needling, chemical peels, and laser treatments - all of which require trained medical oversight. Without proper regulation, these services can lead to serious health complications.

NA body says concerned at polio resurgence
ISLAMABAD: The Standing Committee on National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination (NHSR&C) expressing serious concerns over the resurgence of polio has recommended that to contain the disease besides vaccination the authorities must also take measures such as drainage, cleaning and environmental protection. The committee meeting held under the chairmanship of Dr Mahesh Kumar Malani, MNA said that it has been observed that steps like drainage cleaning and environmental protection were totally being ignored by local administrations. Members stressed that preventing polio required a holistic response, not just immunisation. Addressing the resurgence of polio, the committee noted that cases had re-emerged in south Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Karachi due to poor sanitation and repeated failure to vaccinate large numbers of children due to security reasons and other such constraints. It was also observed that while the authorities were fully focusing on the vaccination drives, local governments were not playing their part to purge the area of polio. The committee held an extensive meeting on Thursday to examine pressing concerns related to the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), medical education testing procedures, regulatory failures in the healthcare sector and ongoing policy issues regarding medicine procurement and public health. The committee expressed grave concern over the failure of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) and the Ministry of National Health Services to resolve the issue of students of Al-Nafees Medical College and directed the PMDC to immediately summon the students and university officials and resolve the matter amicably and to reach a merit-based within five days. Members observed that student careers had been put at risk due to administrative negligence and lack of coordination among PMDC, universities and the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination. The committee also discussed the matter of Pakistani students graduating from Kyrgyzstan and directed the PMDC that all students who had enrolled at the university during the period when the medical college was duly registered should be recognised without any further delay. 'The Pharmacy (Amendment) Bill, 2024 (moved by Abdul Qadir Patel, MNA)' was deferred to the next meeting. On the issue of mental health legislation, the Committee recommended withdrawal of 'The Islamabad Healthcare Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2024' (moved by Shaista Pervaiz, MNA) only on the assurance by the Ministry of NHSR&C that its provisions would be incorporated into the Allied Health Professionals Council Act, 2022, to avoid duplication. The committee directed the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) to expedite recruitments process, and to ensure standardisation and price regulation of medical devices, including stents and lenses. It emphasised that there must be no compromise on quality and strictly prohibited the use of substandard instruments. The committee also sought an update on DRAP's digital licensing system and ongoing reforms. The committee deliberated on the longstanding administrative crisis at the National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine (NIRM), where allegations of staff absenteeism, ghost surgeries and internal victimisation were raised. The chairman dissolved the Sub-Committee on NIRM and decided that the issue would now be taken up in the main Standing Committee, where all stakeholders would be heard in an in-camera session.

Consistent shortage of trained nurses in Punjab hospitals
LAHORE: The Chief Minister Punjab Monitoring Team's head, Brigadier Babar Alauddin (retd), visited the University of Health Sciences (UHS) on Tuesday where he held meetings with vice-chancellor Prof Dr Ahsan Waheed Rathore and senior faculty members. During the visit, he was briefed on the university's academic, research and public health initiatives. Brigadier Alauddin (retd) termed the Punjab government's recent decision to centralize admissions to nursing colleges through UHS a 'wise step,' noting that it would promote merit, transparency, and quality education. He disclosed that during his inspections of more than 100 hospitals over the past year, he found a consistent shortage of trained nurses. In that context, he praised UHS's contribution to strengthening standards in nursing education. Commenting on UHS's adolescent health awareness programme Pyari Beti, he called it a commendable initiative for empowering young girls. 'This programme deserves integration into the primary healthcare system, and I will brief the Chief Minister accordingly,' he added. He also discussed the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT), expressing strong personal support for its continuation as a standardised entry examination. He highlighted the need for an effective and coordinated regulatory framework for monitoring private medical colleges, citing recurring complaints about their academic standards. The vice-chancellor Prof Rathore informed the delegation that a crackdown on substandard nursing colleges was already underway. 'In future, only those institutions with a minimum 200-bed teaching hospital will be accredited,' he said. Brigadier Alauddin reiterated that healthcare remains a top priority for the Chief Minister. He noted that Punjab's Basic Health Units (BHUs) and Rural Health Centres (RHCs) were being revitalised and outsourced to the private sector to improve service delivery. Despite serving a significant patient load from across provincial borders, Punjab's public health system continues to deliver, he added. Praising UHS's distinctive role among national regulators, he said that the university's challenges and its societal impact are unique and vital. He also acknowledged the ongoing efforts to improve the international ranking of Pakistani universities. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
