No medicines

I request the government of Balochistan to take steps to ensure that medicines are available in the area

TURBAT: I would like to draw the attention of the authorities to the lack of medical stores in Kassak village, which is located 25 kilometers from Turbat city in Balochistan.

Though some medicines are available in general merchandise shops, these shopkeepers charge heavy prices for medicines which the poor cannot afford. Due to this situation, people in my village are facing difficulties.

I request the government of Balochistan to take steps to ensure that medicines are available in the area, not just in the needed quantity but at low prices also.
