Muhammad Aurangzeb, Additional Secretary Qalandar Khan, Additional Secretary Drugs Muhammad Sohail, Director General of Health Dr. Moez, the Director General Drug Controller, and representatives from pharmaceutical firms. Minister Nazir emphasized that robust monitoring necessitates a robust system, noting that body cameras could facilitate prompt resolution of complaints.
He also reviewed decisions from a prior meeting and mandated officials to adopt a zero-tolerance stance towards quacks and those involved in the manufacture of counterfeit or substandard medications.
