The Committee also reviewed the representation of provinces on the Boards of Directors of natural gas, oil, and other public entities to ensure equal and joint control by the Federal Government and the provinces in accordance with constitutional provisions as mentioned in Article 172(3) of the Constitution.

The meeting was attended by Senator Poojo Bheel, while Senator Jan Muhammad participated as a special invitee.

‎The Committee expressed displeasure over the absence of the Federal Minister and Federal Secretary, Establishment Division, and emphasized that ministers and senior government officials must attend parliamentary committee meetings, as the Federal Government and its representatives are accountable to both Parliament and the people of Pakistan.

‎Senator Zamir Hussain Ghumro questioned the Federal Government’s seriousness regarding the implementation of the 18th Constitutional Amendment, stating that delays and shortcomings undermine the spirit of federalism and the Constitution. He observed that inadequate implementation of constitutional provisions creates disparities and fosters resentment among the federating units. Referring specifically to Article 38(g), he noted that the Federal Government is constitutionally obligated not only to ensure equitable provincial representation in federal services but also to address and rectify past omissions in this regard.

‎The Committee was briefed on measures taken to improve provincial representation through the Special CSS Examination wherein the carry forward vacant posts of provinces mainly Balochistan and Sindh were filled. Officials informed the Committee that provincial share for direct recruitment are currently determined by the Federal Government. However, members questioned the criteria used for allocating provincial shares in All Pakistan Services, including whether the formula is based on population or other considerations. The Committee also sought clarification on the rationale behind the division of Sindh’s share into urban and rural categories.

‎The Convenor directed the Establishment Division to submit, within two weeks, comprehensive details regarding provincial representation across all federal ministries, divisions, and departments, along with the criteria and basis used for determining existing provincial shares in federal services. He further instructed the Division to review past omissions and submit proposals for corrective measures in line with Article 38(g).

‎The Committee also received a briefing from the Petroleum Division on the composition of the Boards of Directors of oil and gas companies and corporations. Officials informed members that the boards are constituted under the State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Act and include provincial representation in accordance with constitutional requirements. However, the Committee raised concerns regarding the process for nominating provincial representatives and emphasized the need for meaningful consultation with the respective provincial governments to ensure the legal and constitutional validity of board appointments.

‎Members reiterated that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and prevails over any conflicting legislation. The Convenor directed the Petroleum Division to institutionalize effective consultation with provincial governments in the constitution of all Boards of Directors. He further instructed the Division to undertake ex-post facto consultations with provinces regarding existing boards and to provide details and profiles of board members particularly belonging to Balochistan. Special Secretary Petroleum Division assured the committee for meaningful consultation with provinces as instructed.

‎The Committee reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening federal-provincial harmony and ensuring full compliance with constitutional provisions governing equitable representation and shared governance.

Senate Committee Reviews Key Health Reforms, Rehabilitation Services, PM&DC Accountability and Public Health Challenges

The Senate Standing Committee on National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination met at Parliament House under the chairmanship of Senator Aamir Waliuddin Chishti to review critical matters related to healthcare governance, rehabilitation services, medical regulation, public health policy and institutional performance.

Senator Syed Masroor Ahsan, Senator Nadeem Bhutto and Senator Sarmad Ali attended the meeting. The Federal Minister for National Health Services and the Secretary Health also attended the meeting, while senior officials from relevant institutions briefed the committee.

During the briefing on the National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine (NIRM), the Executive Director informed the committee that the institute provides comprehensive rehabilitation services, including treatment for persons with disabilities, training of accompanying doctors, outdoor and indoor patient services, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and related rehabilitation facilities.

The committee was informed that NIRM was established in 1998 when Islamabad's population stood at approximately 1.94 million. It was highlighted that the capital's population has now reached 3.5 million in 2026, significantly increasing the demand for rehabilitation and healthcare services. The Executive Director stated that the institute serves not only patients from Islamabad but also receives patients from other provinces across the country.

The committee was informed that NIRM had been allocated a budget of Rs641.879 million, of which approximately 70 percent had been utilized so far.

During the discussion on service delivery and patient care, the Executive Director informed members that while treatment is provided free of cost to many patients, certain categories are charged according to applicable procedures.

Expressing concern over equitable access to healthcare, Senator Syed Masroor Ahsan observed, "It was observed that those who can afford it get facilities, while the rest are left with the same fate."

Committee members sought details regarding the fee structure and asked how much patients were being charged for services.

Committee member Senator Nadeem Ahmed sought detailed data regarding the number of patients treated during the last five years, while members also requested a breakdown of budget utilization over the previous four years.

The committee directed the ministry and NIRM administration to provide comprehensive data regarding patient treatment, service delivery, financial utilization and institutional performance.

"The cervical cancer vaccine has been launched with great difficulty in Pakistan," the minister stated.

The minister informed the committee that resistance was encountered during the awareness campaign and noted that schools and parents had withdrawn support during certain stages of the initiative.

Referring to international support for the initiative, the minister stated, "This case was a simple one, WHO gave green signals."

Highlighting the need for stronger public awareness efforts, the minister observed,

The Federal Health Minister also expressed concern over maternal health indicators in the country and informed the committee that approximately 11,000 women lose their lives during pregnancy-related complications every year.

"Eleven thousand mothers lose their lives during pregnancy every year," the minister stated.

The committee emphasized the need for aggressive public health awareness campaigns, maternal health interventions and improved vaccination outreach to address preventable health challenges.

The committee also received a detailed briefing on the performance of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council's Disciplinary Committee.

Members were informed that 498 complaints have so far been registered before the PM&DC Disciplinary Committee. The briefing further revealed that licenses of 114 doctors have been suspended following disciplinary proceedings.

Taking serious notice of professional misconduct cases, the committee sought a complete list of suspended doctors and directed PM&DC to provide detailed information regarding disciplinary actions, implementation status and pending cases.

The committee was informed that the Health Services Academy is ranked among the top 15 institutions recognized by the Higher Education Commission.

According to the briefing, HSA has published 398 research journals and publications to date, reflecting its growing contribution to public health research and policy development.

The committee also took up further consideration of the Electronic Ni****ne Delivery Systems (Regulation) Bill, 2025, moved by Senator Sarmad Ali, aimed at regulating the use, sale and distribution of electronic va**ng products in Pakistan, particularly among minors.

During deliberations on the proposed legislation, Senator Sarmad Ali emphasized the need to protect young people from the growing use of va**ng products and stated, "I want children under the age of eighteen not to use v**es."

Senator Sarmad Ali informed the committee that the proposed legislation had been referred to the Ministries of Law and Finance after objections were raised regarding its financial implications.

"My bill has been sent to the Ministry of Law and Finance with objections to financial matters," Senator Sarmad Ali told the committee.

Responding to the concerns, Senator Mustafa Kamal explained that existing procedures require private members' legislation involving financial implications to undergo additional scrutiny.

"As per the instructions of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, any private member's bill will be sent to the Cabinet," Senator Mustafa Kamal stated.

During the discussion, Senator Mustafa Kamal highlighted the technical and regulatory requirements associated with enforcing v**e regulations and observed that adequate testing mechanisms would be required for implementation.

"We will have to build a laboratory for testing v**es," Senator Mustafa Kamal said.

He further noted that the financial implications attached to the proposed legislation necessitated consultation with relevant authorities.

"Due to financial issues, this bill will have to be sent to the Ministry of Finance and the Cabinet," he added.

After deliberations, the committee decided to summon officials from the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs to its next meeting to clarify the legislative process and address concerns raised by members regarding the handling of the proposed bill.

The committee reiterated its commitment to strengthening public health safeguards and ensuring that appropriate regulatory mechanisms are put in place to protect children and adolescents from the harmful effects of nicotine-based products.
The Chairman noted with concern that the directives regarding formula milk issued during the last Senate Committee meeting have not yet been complied with. The Committee directed the relevant stakeholders to implement the decisions without further delay.
The Chairman reiterated the Committee’s concern over the persistent increase in medicine prices and stressed the need for coordinated action with the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP). He stated that the Committee would call the CCP in the next meeting to brief the Committee on its findings and submit recommendations regarding the factors contributing to the increase in medicine prices.

The Sub-Committee of the Senate Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunications, chaired by Senator Sadia Abbasi, convened today at Parliament House to address the critical issues of national internet degradation and systemic diesel theft from telecommunications infrastructure across the country. Committee was attended by Senators Kamran Murtaza, Dr. Afnan Ullah Khan and senior’s officials from the ministry. The high-level session focused on vulnerabilities that compromise nationwide telecommunications infrastructure and service continuity, as documented across primary briefing records.
The committee expressed grave concern over data indicating that more than 9,200 separate incidents of theft and vandalism occurred nationwide over an eleven-month period, impacting approximately 16% of the country’s entire cellular infrastructure. This structural crisis is geographically widespread, with Sindh recording the highest volume at 3,938 cases across 31 affected districts, followed by Punjab with 2,827 incidents across 38 districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa reporting 1,668 incidents across 25 districts, and Balochistan logging 716 incidents across 26 districts.
During the comprehensive review, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) outlined how persistent power load-shedding severely deteriorates service continuity by rapidly depleting backup battery systems and exhausting conventional localized generator layers. To establish long-term structural resilience, the regulator has engaged the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) and the Power Division to secure dedicated priority power feeders and accelerate the deployment of smart transformers directly servicing critical telecom nodes.
Concurrently, the Universal Service Fund (USF) and its quality assurance representatives reported on ongoing infrastructure deployments in Balochistan, clarifying that while 80% of target areas are successfully identified through rigorous competitive bidding, severe security vulnerabilities and systemic diesel theft continually undermine operational expansion. In response to these persistent reports, the committee has formally instructed relevant departments to map out specific high-theft hotspots, directing local district management and provincial authorities to handle complaints strictly according to the law and implement robust preventative mechanisms to shield these critical installations.
The committee also evaluated ongoing network modernization initiatives, including recent spectrum auctions expanding bandwidth availability by 480 MHz and the recent issuance of 5G commercial licenses in March 2026. While infrastructure targets aim for substantial upgrades—such as raising average 4G operational speeds from 4 Mbps up to 20 Mbps, executing mandatory annual rollouts of 1,000 new site locations, and introducing Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) services—the regulator has introduced stringent network downtime thresholds to enforce compliance.
Cellular mobile operators (CMOs) are now legally obligated to maintain localized network downtime within strict margins, specifically limited to 5% or less at the Union Council level, 3% or less at the Tehsil level, 2% or less at the District level, and 1% or less on a nationwide aggregate basis. The committee reaffirmed that internet facility access must be classified under essential services criteria, and it directed all telecom operators to execute immediate, effective safeguards against fuel theft to ensure these critical national connectivity standards are met without interruption.
