It is the responsibility of government to provide awareness program
RAWALPINDI: Every year, Pakistan faces more health problems than it did in the previous one, leading to new kinds of diseases that are difficult to treat due to unfavorable financial, economic and climatic conditions.
In Pakistan the majority of the population is living below the poverty line, where it has become really difficult for a poor man to feed his family and himself. Overall, health facilities are mostly not available in the rural parts of Pakistan. While doctors are available in the area, they do not perform their duties in the Basic Health Units. Doctors also charge high fees which is a huge burden on the people whose average monthly income is very low.
I request those that are responsible to lower the prices of medications so that the lives of poor people can be saved. It is the responsibility of government to provide awareness programs through print media as well as electronic media. The print media and electronic media of Pakistan ought to help solve the problems of health.
