Apparently, Shahabz Shareef- Khadim-e-Punjab, has been fighting against the killer mosquito by visiting hospitals specified for Dengue patients personally and by arranging seminars etc. However, one should not forget that "We need actions, more than words". Sub-standard anti-dengue sprays including spraying used mobil oil in the dengue affected areas, price hike and shortage of common medicines like "Panadol" and mosquito repellent lotions/sprays define the failure of Punjab government in combating the deadly virus. It is also a point to be noticed that releasing orders only is not enough, CM is also responsible to keep a check on all the authorities for whether or not, the imposed policies are followed. The fixed rated for CBC test reports are PKR 90. However, government hospitals are still charging the patients with heavy fees that ranges from Rs 250-500 in some cases. I personally paid a visit to"Ghurki hospital", by reading a Punjab govt ad in newspaper , and was disappointed to find out that, the mentioned hospital is charging patients with Rs 250/- instead of Rs 90/- Complaining on toll free number 080099000 also could not make any noticeable good. This is just one hospital, I am sure that the other labs must be doing the same.
A senior official said that past occurrence indicated that dengue would spread every alternate year, and because it hit Punjab, particularly Lahore in 2010, it was expected to recur in 2012.
Contradictory to CM's announcements Ittefaq Hospital is also taking the full benefit from the situation.
The unexpected outbreak of dengue this year suggested that the virus is growing stronger and proper research should be carried out to seek ways to eradicate it, said Mayo Hospital and King Edward Medical University Microbiology Diagnostic and Research Lab Infection Control Officer Dr Tayyba Ijaz.
“It has become an endemic now. We need to have a disease-tracking system along with an early-warning system. We have no virus culture lab, which is why we can’t make a vaccine for it,” she added.
All advertisements regarding the prevention of dengue being published on behalf of the Punjab government currently are completely misleading, said a senior doctor requesting anonymity. They allege that all public health institutions are equipped with complete diagnostic and treatment facilities, which is completely untrue, he added.
Pakistan has become a state having no power, no electricity/gas and inflation of consumables. Not only Punjab government, but Mr. President needs to be thrown away! Off to the the official records, Pakistan will be one of the richest state if all of its wealth from MPA's is brought in the banks of Pakistan. Lets talk only about Khadime Punjab. According to Daily Dawn CM is the richest member of Punjab Assembly with the assets of Rs 489.64 millions in the country and abroad. He has four properties in UK worth Rs 175.6 million. He and his wife own agricultural, non agricultural lands, land cruiser and has shown investments in sugar,paper,dairy,textile mills and poultry farms etc.Just a food for thought that if he really is a "Khadime Punjab" then why not he feels like spending some of his private money for the sake of his people? Plus, is there any scale to judge that from where he has gathered so much of money?Of course by corruption!
