Pakistan Medical Association Calls for Audits of Disease Control Programmes and NGOs
Published
The Pakistan Medical Association has demanded financial and forensic audits of disease control programmes and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The association has said these audits should be conducted by an independent body.
A financial audit means examining the accounts of the funds received for programmes and checking how they were spent. A forensic audit involves a more in-depth examination to detect any irregularity or misuse. According to the association, transparency increases public trust.
In Pakistan, various government programmes and non-governmental organisations are working in the health sector. The use of their funds and the results of their work are discussed from time to time. The report does not give details of any specific case or allegation.
So far, no formal response to this demand has been issued by the government or the relevant authorities. More information on the matter is expected in the coming days.
