It is a sad reality that women’s health issues are deep and chronic in Sindh. More than 60 percent poor women do not have access to public health care services. There is a critical shortage of medicines, doctors and paramedical staff in the hospitals, even at the district and taluka level.
Regrettably, the past successive governments did nothing to improve the basic health services for the people. Even the present provincial health department has not made the health of women and girls as their priority in the province. As a result, every day several women and girl die prematurely.
Since women are backbone of Sindh province’s rural economy and the girls are future mothers, therefore, the rulers are requested to take concrete steps to improve health and education of women. Indeed, time has come for pragmatic action and not for rhetoric and wastage of resources as would be done on the “World Health Day” on April 7. Seminars and workshops followed by lovely lunches in five star hotels and nothing practical. The money which will be wasted in fun and frolic could be invested on the health services of women and girls.
Is there anyone to pay attention to such creative concepts and launch such initiatives?
