Children recovering from malnutrition get prize

Shah stressed on the use of supplements for expecting mothers, children who were born weak

QUETTA: A seminar on mother and child’s health was organised by the People’s Primary Healthcare Initiative (PPHI) at Elementary Girls College Sibi. Deputy Commissioner Sibi Syed Zahid Shah was the chief guest on the occasion.

Addressing the seminar he said that education and health were the most important departments that were directly linked with the well-being of the children.

“Healthy society requires healthy people,” he said and added that organising a PPHI programme and seminar was commendable. He stated that Balochistan being the largest province of the country had scattered population.

“Mostly population in the countryside needs awareness on malnutrition,” he remarked. Shah stressed on the use of supplements provided by PPHI and other healthcare institutions for expecting mothers and children who were born weak.
