Proposal for Improving Healthcare Services
(Provincial Assembly Proceedings, 05/03/1957, 10:55 PM - 11:05 PM)

Major Ghani, MPA, stated in the Provincial Assembly:

*"Honourable Speaker, it is unfortunate that the Health Minister has failed to reflect genuine concern for the public's wellbeing within the budget. I regret that I cannot commend him for this. If he were in the opposition today and had personally observed the suffering and poor health conditions in rural areas, especially the remote regions, perhaps he would have shown greater empathy in his policies.

When leaders ascend to higher positions, they often forget the struggles of the common people. Their focus on alleviating the people’s suffering diminishes significantly.

I would like to particularly highlight the issue of improper medical practices. In many places, treatments for serious conditions like tuberculosis, cholera, and typhoid are being conducted by quacks and untrained practitioners. Such incompetence deprives people of proper medical care.

I urge the honourable Minister to ensure the availability of qualified doctors for medical treatment. If necessary, arrangements should be made to bring in competent doctors from abroad on special contracts."*

Major Ghani’s remarks emphasized the urgent need for reform in the healthcare system, particularly in rural areas, to ensure quality medical care for all.
