US Consul General Mark Stroh visited Hyderabad, Jamshoro, and Thatta from November 2 to November 4 to further strengthen the partnership with the people of Pakistan and promote lifesaving COVID-19 vaccinations.
During his visit to the region, Consul General Stroh inaugurated partnerships in education, healthcare, energy, and prison reforms.
In Hyderabad, Consul General Mark Stroh visited the vaccine unit of the Shah Bhittai hospital as part of the United States and Sindh government’s immunization awareness campaign, Fizaoon Se Falah Tak.
The United States is a leader in the global fight against COVID-19 and has donated more than 200 million vaccine doses worldwide.
“We stand with the people of Pakistan to save lives. I encourage the residents of Hyderabad and the surrounding areas to get vaccinated as soon as possible to protect your families and community from COVID-19,” said Consul General Stroh while interacting with Pfizer vaccine recipients and healthcare workers in Hyderabad.
Stroh noted that to date, the people of the United States have provided approximately 23 million live-saving doses of Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccine to Pakistan, the largest such donation to any country worldwide.
He joined Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah for a hand-over ceremony of the Sindh Prisons Staff Training Institute and Prison Management Information System.
The projects, developed with support from U.S. Mission Pakistan and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime will help bring Pakistani prison practices in line with international standards.
