Punjab Minister for Health, Khalil Tahir Sindhu has said that developed countries are increasingly focusing on prevention aspects of diseases. Talking to the media persons here on Wednesday, the minister said that there is a need to promote awareness among the masses against diseases so that people can save themselves by adopting preventive measures.
He said that media is playing a very effective role in this regard. Khalil Tahir said that people can prevent themselves and their children from numerous diseases such as cholera, gastro-enteritis, diarrhoea just only by washing hands properly. He said that it is our responsibility to control diseases through promoting awareness because without eradication of diseases, a healthy society cannot emerge. The minister said that every year government is allocating billions of rupees on healthcare but due to lack of awareness a number of people cannot benefit from these facilities.
