The Pakistani government has announced plans to dissolve two key authorities under the Health Ministry as part of a broader effort to streamline healthcare services and reduce costs.

The Islamabad Blood Transfusion Authority and the Human Organ Transplant Authority will be merged into the Islamabad Healthcare Regulatory Authority, resulting in significant staff reductions.

This plan comes after the earlier decision to dissolve the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions (SAFRON), which is set to merge with the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan. The administrative responsibilities of SAFRON will be discontinued, and a special committee will be formed to manage the future of Jammu & Kashmir State Properties.

Revenue generated from the sale of state properties will be earmarked for the welfare of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. The Directorate of Health Services (DHS) for Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan will also undergo a review, with plans to transfer its control to the Azad Kashmir government. Funding for DHS in Gilgit-Baltistan will be coordinated with the Ministry of Health.

Additionally, the Jammu and Kashmir Refugee Rehabilitation Organization is slated for dissolution, which will lead to staff cuts across several offices and councils that manage Afghan refugee affairs.
