KARACHI:

Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) will provide water purification kits and medicines to flood survivors in Sindh and Balochistan.

Its Sindh and Balochistan chapters will oversee the distribution. “Physicians are ready to treat patients if they are provided medicines. Residents of flood-affected areas do not have access to clean water and essential medicines,” said the medical body. Physicians in disaster-struck areas should contact Dr S M Qaisar Sajjad on 021-32251159 or 0303-2339179 to have water purification kits and essential drugs delivered to them immediately. They can also collect emergency packs from the PMA House in Karachi.
