HEALTH IS WEALTH is a common proverb that we hear most in our life. It is very true that health is very important to all of us. If we are not feeling well due to any kind of sickness we feel sad and we feel happiness if we are healthy. Health is really a blessing to human being and it is also common proverb health is above wealth.
Health care situation in Pakistan is alarming. The main reason is poverty of course and the other is unawareness about health care issues. Besides this government also nothing did such impressive for the people health as it should be priority for the government. Seasonal diseases, dengue virus, hepatitus, malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and cholera are the diseases that are mostly faces by our people. Many of targeted of these diseases are children. Dengue virus a disease that cause to death prevailing in mostly areas of the country but Government tries best in this matter and spread awareness of this virus.
Situations in government hospitals are very bad. Patients deal by the doctors in government hospitals like they are treating animals. Latest treatments for curing diseases are still a dream for common people of Pakistan. As in government hospitals common facilities are not available. Doctors are rarely available at the duty. Medicines are not available. If someone asked by the doctors for some tests machinery is unavailable and if any hospital have it, that will be out of order. The staff of these hospitals are not cooperative with the patients as well.
Situations in Government hospitals are very bad today. People due to unawareness usually try to cure this kind of diseases with homemade medicine or more then it they go to Hakeems for traditional medicines. As these Hakeems are not educated nor they have any experiences of how to treat a patient in what way? So these patients sometimes lose their life instead of getting healthy again. People who are not educated are mostly victim of these Hakeems.
Poverty is the third reason of bad health situation here. Those who have no money to eat food, how they will fight against diseases. And this is also a reality that mostly diseases are due to malnutrition. In recent times the biggest example of malnutrition is seen in ( THARR ) Sindh province. Many children died due to malnutrition there. People have no resources to go to hospitals as they cannot afford expenses of hospitals. Many of diseases go to extreme due to not diagnose at early stages. And if diagnose at time then again the problem is not having money.
Mostly people prefer take medicines for temperature cough and flu without consulting any doctor. It is not a good thing to take medicine without consulting a physician. In European countries people can not take medicine from the store without a doctors prescription.
Possible remedies to prevent form the current bad healthcare situations could be that Government should increase the budget of health. And then should keep proper checkout on hospitals. Awareness campaigns should designed for people as government designs for dengue virus awareness. And hakeems that are in every street of the cities should be banned. And only permit holders from the government could open. It is not only the responsibility of the government to spread awareness but of every single person for the betterment as a whole. Nongovernmental organizations can do work a lot in this field.
Research work in the field of medicine is also very important. Strict punishments should awarded for those who are making fake medicines and are playing with the lives.
