“I have resigned as SAPM. I came to Pakistan on a personal invitation of Imran Khan leaving WHO,” said Dr Mirza.
“I worked hard and honestly. It was a privilege to serve Pakistan. I am satisfied that I leave at a time when COVID-19 has declined in as a result of a grand national effort.”
His resignation came less than an hour after Tania Aidrus resigned.
Before joining the government, Dr Mirza was the director of health systems development at the WHO EMRO office.
On April 20, the Supreme Court ordered the removal of Dr Mirza from the post of PM’s aide on health over an “unsatisfactory” performance.
“Nothing can be said as to how far is [PM’s] special assistant Zafar Mirza transparent,” Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed had said during the hearing of a suo motu notice on the coronavirus pandemic.
