The audit report on the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), containing major recommendations for reform, is set to be presented to the Prime Minister, according to available reports on Tuesday.

The ongoing reform process at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) was initiated following a tragic fire at the hospital's Mother and Child Health Centre that resulted in the deaths of 14 infants, it has been confirmed.

In a meeting on Monday chaired by Health Minister Mustafa Kamal, officials discussed the status of the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system at the fire-affected centre. The minister directed authorities to establish a timeline for handing over the building to resume restoration work, which was halted for an investigation.

It was also decided to utilise engineers and technical experts from the surplus pool of the recently abolished Pakistan Public Works Department (PWD) to address staff shortages at the hospital. Separately, the Islamabad Healthcare Regulatory Authority (IHRA) has begun its own comprehensive assessment of PIMS facilities and services.
