Islamabad: The risk of COVID-19 related misinformation and stigmatization is a critical challenge that requires a concerted effort on the part of all stakeholders, especially the media, which shoulders a huge responsibility in terms of keeping the public informed.
Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Health Dr. Faisal Sultan expressed these views while addressing participants of an online workshop for health journalists organised by the Trust for Democratic Education and Accountability (TDEA) in collaboration with the Ministry of National Health Services as part of its initiative to encourage evidence-based, responsible and accurate reporting of COVID-19 response.
