The cabinet-level decision directs that all council functions be computerized as soon as possible to minimize human intervention and safeguard merit and transparency through nursing digitalization.<\/p>\n<p>The minister emphasized that nursing is the backbone of the health system and highlighted a critical shortfall of roughly <strong>900,000<\/strong> nurses in Pakistan, while the global requirement stands at about <strong>2.5 million<\/strong> qualified nurses. He pledged to rebuild the sector on modern lines, restore lost credibility through reforms, and develop the council into an institution that meets international standards.<\/p>\n<p>Officials at the meeting were instructed to fast-track implementation so that the benefits of nursing digitalization\u2014reduced manual processes, clearer accountability and improved transparency\u2014reach stakeholders without delay. The move is presented as a key step toward strengthening Pakistan\u2019s health workforce and aligning the nursing sector with global expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The minister reiterated his commitment to comprehensive reforms, saying the modernization drive will focus on creating reliable, merit\u2011based systems that support nurses and enhance public trust in regulatory institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government initiates nursing digitalization to computerize council functions, reduce human intervention and ensure merit and transparency in Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":11871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
