HEALTH
Good health and good education is
necessary for a strong and healthy society. In order to provide
the poor with medical facilities it is essential that from small
towns to small villages and small cities to the big cities in all
areas and localities a network of small health units should be
installed. These units should become the centre for health and in
this way at State level every citizen’s health and care
would be ensured. In other words a system taking the form of
National Health Scheme would be established.
In every district at least one
government hospital should be set-up and in rural areas health
centres comprising of at least 20 beds should be established
wherein maternity services would also be provided.
With a view to removing the shortage
of essential medicines and a reduction in prices, private
investment and local manufacturing in pharmaceutical industries
should be encouraged.
To provide medical care for the poor
people, non-governmental, social and welfare organisations and
institutions from the private sector should be encouraged. MQM
wants the present conditions of State controlled hospitals and
health centres to improve. Furthermore, in order to improve the
deficiencies in administrative matters, the involvement of
bureaucracy should be minimised and the hospitals should be under
the control of professionals.
