Minister for National Health Services, Regulations, and Coordination, Abdul Qadir Patel has said the government is working on a comprehensive plan for complete eradication of various diseases from the country.
\nAddressing the annual meeting of the Federal Directorate of Immunisation, Qadir Patel said that a collaborative strategy was being formulated to ensure 100 percent results, by reaching everyone during every immunisation drive in the country.
\nAbdul Qadir said that it was the responsibility of the state to provide basic health facilities to its citizens and added that the government was working on a comprehensive plan for the complete eradication of various diseases from the country.
\nFor the purpose, he said, all available resources would be utilised and urged the provinces to ensure 100 percent coverage of immunisation to protect children.
\nThe minister said that while there was no cure, \u201cvaccination is the most effective way to protect children from various diseases. Each time a child is vaccinated, their protection against the virus is increased.\u201d
\nHe said that repeated immunisations had protected millions of children, allowing almost many countries in the world to become free from various diseases.
\n\u201cThe only way to protect our children is to vaccinate them, especially under the age of five. It is critically important that parents and caregivers, particularly in high-risk areas, ensure that their child is vaccinated\u201d, Patel said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
