Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) North Director Pervez Bashir circumcised the first child at CHAEF 24th free primary health care centre and opened the free nebuliser facility on Guru Mangat Road on Thursday. He said there should be a nation-wide network of primary health care centres instead off a dispensary culture.
There were three benefits of primary health care centres: first, people would get medicine in the first stage of a disease, secondly, deadly diseases could be diagnosed at an early stage and it could nib the diseases in the bud before it turned into incurable and third, the burden of hospitals would be less, he added.
He lauded CHAEF's early diagnosed and treatment of diseases, adding that it would be easier for hospitals like Shaukat Khanam and PIC to cure patients at early stage. He pledged his full support for CHAEF's target of 1,000 such primary health centres.
CHAEF Chairman Nadeem-ul-Hassan said in his speech, "We will expand our network up to Muzaffarbad. It will be accomplished through the private sector's support." Vice Chairman Ansar Javaid appealed to the government, saying, "We are not seeking the government's financial support but we want support at nazim and naib nazim's level to maintain better sanitation in health care centres.
