To date, 17 healthcare workers have died fighting the novel coronavirus in Pakistan, while over 1,900 have been infected.

These are the doctors, nurses, paramedics and sanitary workers who valiantly continued to service the needs of COVID-19 patients and lost their lives while doing so.

Today, we honour these heroes and their sacrifice.
