ISLAMABAD: While the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (Drap) is in the limelight for its important role in registering the Covid-19 vaccines and allowing its clinical trials across the country, the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) has found severe violations of rules in the authority and suggested appointment of a full-time head for it.
Besides, terming all decisions of Drap unlawful, the AGP has suggested that these be validated by the federal cabinet.
According to the audit report for the financial year 2018-19 and 2019-20, Drap was ineffective due to its non-composition as out of the total 13 directors, only one (director costing and pricing) held the position on a regular basis. The others held the posts on a temporary basis.

Pakistan on Tuesday launched its coronavirus vaccination campaign after vaccines arrived from China, with a doctor becoming the first person in the country to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Prime Minister Imran Khan oversaw the start of the campaign.
Khan said the vaccine would be distributed evenly among all provinces. Healthcare workers would be given the vaccine first as they are exposed to maximum risk, Khan said.
He lauded the efforts of his team to procure the vaccine. Khan also thanked China for donating 500,000 doses of its Sinopharm.
Pakistan recorded the lowest number of daily coronavirus cases in three months as it launched vaccination in the country.
