"We also decided not to evacuate students from Wuhan. It was a very tough decision," said Dr Zafar Mirza. "But we worked very closely with the Chinese government. We just followed their recommendations and policies. They were very nice; they allowed countries to expatriate even against their recommendation."

"They took good care of our students"

"Today, when the disease is spreading in Pakistan, the students are thanking the government of Pakistan for not bringing them back," added Mirza. "They are asking us to take care of their families like China took care of them."
