🇵🇰🚀 BREAKING: Pakistan is preparing to launch an advanced hyperspectral satellite in October, which will assist in exploring underground mineral resources and enhance research in agriculture, forestry, wildlife, flood monitoring, glacier melt, air pollution, and smog.

🛰️ Hyperspectral satellite imaging is a groundbreaking advancement in remote sensing technology. It enables the capture of vast amounts of detailed data across hundreds of narrow, contiguous spectral bands. Unlike traditional optical sensors, hyperspectral imaging reveals information beyond what is visible to the human eye, offering insights into the physical and chemical composition of Earth’s surface that are unattainable with standard multispectral sensors.

A case of mpox, formerly called monkeypox, has surfaced in Lahore as a patient tested positive for the virus at the Lahore General Hospital (LGH).

A 48 year old male was brought to the hospital on Sept 16 with strong symptoms of mpox. He was immediately isolated. The samples sent to the provincial public health reference lab confirmed the virus in the patient. he had undergone liver transplant surgery in 2021 and he might have carried infection due to the low immunity in the wake of his operation.

The health teams had activated the public health experts to visit his residence and the surroundings to further expand the scope of the case investigations.

💉 Pakistan’s first national cervical cancer prevention drive begins tomorrow (Monday), running from September 15–27 in Punjab, Sindh, Islamabad, and Azad Kashmir. Around 13 million girls aged 9–14 will receive a single HPV vaccine dose at schools, madrassas, community centers, fixed sites, and through mobile teams.

🇵🇰 Punjab received 8.8M doses, Sindh 4M, Azad Kashmir 349K, and Islamabad 152K. Vaccines and syringes worth Rs 10 billion were provided free by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

🗒️ The campaign will expand in phases: KP in 2026, Balochistan and Gilgit-Baltistan in 2027. Pakistan plans to integrate HPV vaccination into routine immunization for all girls up to age nine, with future procurement by the government.

🔬 Researchers from Information Technology University (ITU), Lahore, in collaboration with Chughtai Labs and COMSATS University, have developed LeukemiaAttri, a large-scale, multi-domain dataset designed to advance AI-driven early diagnosis of leukemia.

📑 This significant contribution, published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, 2024), focuses on white blood cell detection using morphological attributes that enhance the explainability of AI models—an essential feature for building trust in medical applications.

💻 What sets LeukemiaAttri apart is its versatility. The dataset was captured using a diverse range of equipment—from high-end laboratory microscopes to low-cost alternatives and even mobile phone cameras—making it generalisable to real-world, resource-constrained healthcare settings. This democratized approach to data collection ensures that the resulting diagnostic tools can benefit both well-equipped urban hospitals and under-resourced rural clinics.

👨‍⚕️ The study was co-authored by Dr. Abdul Rehman and Dr. Tayyaba Meraj from COMSATS University, Dr. Ali M. Minhas and Dr. Waqas Sultani from the Department of Computer and Software Engineering at ITU, and Dr. Muhammad Ali from Chughtai Labs. Their joint effort bridges artificial intelligence with healthcare to create practical, interpretable, and accessible diagnostic solutions, exemplifying how interdisciplinary collaboration can address pressing medical challenges.

🐐 A local shepherd’s timely warning proved a lifeline for the entire population of Roshan village in Ghizer district, sparing them from a devastating flash flood early Friday morning.

🌊 Roshan village, located some 200 kilometres from Gilgit, was completely submerged. Although no lives were lost, residents lost all their household belongings and livestock.

📱 Using his mobile phone, which happened to have a working SIM card, he immediately alerted the villagers. His timely call prompted a mass evacuation just moments before floodwaters surged through the settlement.

💭 The shepherd’s vigilance has thrown into sharp relief the shortcomings of the government’s Early Warning Devices (EWDs). Despite being installed at great expense across G-B to give timely alerts of floods and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), the systems failed to sound the alarm during the recent floods that claimed 40 lives and left many more injured in areas where the devices were operational.
