KARACHI: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has issued a critical review of the newly announced Sindh health budget allocation of Rs393.16 billion for the financial year 2026-27. A statement issued by the PMA said that while the provincial government continues to showcase multi-billion rupee grants to select non-governmental organisations (NGOs), public-private partnerships, and autonomous specialised bodies, it is concerning that the foundational pillars of public health — disease prevention and primary healthcare — have been “completely neglected.” A deep dive into the budgetary allocations indicates a structural crisis where a massive portion of the overarching public health fund continues to be swallowed by recurring administrative affairs, bureaucratic overhead, and bloated salary setups, rather than delivering active patient care, vaccines, or grassroots wellness, it added. The PMA said the budget heavily favours centralised urban curative setups by funnelling large-scale grants into specialised treatment.

Pakistan's National Electric Power Regulatory Authority approved a fuel cost adjustment raising electricity prices by Rs1.74 per unit (about 21% increase) in June 2026 bills, primarily due to LNG supply disruptions from US-Iran tensions and outages at the Karachi nuclear plant. The decision follows a public hearing where the Central Power Purchasing Agency reported actual fuel costs of Rs9.975 per unit versus budgeted Rs8.25, forcing an additional Rs16 billion in recoveries from consumers. Separately, Karachi is experiencing severe unscheduled power cuts despite scorching temperatures, prompting the regulator to demand an urgent report from K-Electric on why loadshedding schedules are not being followed.
