Provincial Minister for Health Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar on Monday directed administration of all government hospitals to close down offices of all political parties on their premises, adding no pressure should be tolerated in this regard.
Presiding over a meeting in his office, he said that government hospitals should look like hospitals, not offices of the political parties and their premises should be rid of political slogans, banners, pamphlets and similar ugly materials.
He said it was prime responsibility of government hospitals to provide better facilities of treatment to the patients who should feel comfortable when they visit these hospitals.
He said that the second phase of polio drive was underway in districts of East, Central and Korangi and due to certain reasons the drive had been extended. He said that in the remaining districts of Sindh the target of vaccinating 6.16 million children would be achieved.
He said that the last polio case in Sindh was reported in February 2015 and in Karachi city it was reported in October 2014.
