      <title>New restrictions placed on sale of insulin in Pakistan</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330386407/new-restrictions-placed-on-sale-of-insulin-in-pakistan</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Department of Primary and Secondary Health Care has introduced new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the distribution of insulin to diabetic patients.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the updated health management system, registered diabetic patients will be able to obtain insulin using their National Identity Cards (NIC).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To receive insulin, patients must visit their designated clinic with their original NIC, provide their mobile number, and present their diagnostic test results along with a doctor’s prescription.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new guidelines stipulate that patients will be issued one insulin dose at a time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, patients with disabilities will be allowed to collect their insulin through their blood relatives. These measures aim to streamline the process and ensure that insulin reaches those who need it most efficiently.&lt;/p&gt;
