The Punjab government, despite efforts, has failed to control measles in the province as the death toll from the deadly disease reaches 187.
On Thursday, two more children died of measles, raising the total death toll to 187 in Punjab. As per reports, one-year-old Gulfam from Shaikhupura died in Children’s Hospital Lahore, while two-month old Allah Noor died in Allied Hospital, Faisalabad.
According to the Punjab Health Department, 85 out of the 187 children have died of the disease in Lahore alone. Meanwhile, during the last 24 hours, 102 new cases have been reported in the province, including 12 in Lahore.
The headline is in very bad taste. This could have been worded in a much more humane way.
