description: "Most outlets reported the formation of a 20-member committee to recommend administrative and operational reforms at PIMS, noting the committee was established following the fire that killed 14 newborns. While all mentioned the committee and the fire, 24 News HD and Dunya News explicitly attributed the formation to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s directives, and 24 News HD also highlighted the government’s intention to establish a new Board of Governors. The Nation and ARY News described the committee’s purpose in more general terms without naming the prime minister."
