Pakistan Corona Relief Tiger Force was a volunteer task force aimed at providing health facilities in areas affected by the pandemic in Pakistan.[1] Initiated by Pakistan's Prime Minister, Mr. Imran Khan, the force was established due to the shortage of staff in existing institutions, despite Pakistan's population being more than 60% youth who could contribute significantly. Beginning its operations in Islamabad, the task force expanded its role as the spread of COVID-19 increased across other cities in Pakistan.[2] Volunteers played a crucial role in supporting district administrations by implementing coronavirus standard operating procedures, such as social distancing measures in mosques and public spaces.[3] Additionally, they distributed food and essential supplies to impoverished communities and ensured compliance with 'smart lockdowns' in coronavirus hotspots. Muhammad Usman Dar was appointed to oversee the governance of the task force.[4]
