LARKANA: Sindh Human Rights Commission (SHRC ) Chairperson Justice (Retd) Majida Rizvi, visited Qambar-Shahdadkot and Larkana hospitals on Thursday.
She inspected the Neuro-Science Complex, Dialysis Centre and Casualty centre of Chandka Medical College Hospital (CMCH).
Later she was briefed by Medical Superintendent (MS) Dr Inayatullah Kandhro, in his office about the problems faced by the hospital and flow of patients, including shortage of medics & paramedics and the replacement of old outdated machinery & equipment with new latest equipment. SHRC chief assured the MS of her full support.
While addressing farmers of Naundero and the adjoining areas wherever she had received complaints of non-availability of clean drinking water, education, electricity outages and healthcare. She said “In the hospitals where 50 doctors are needed only, 20 are posted to work, due to which healthcare facilities are not reaching the people in a proper manner. The job of the SHRC is to pinpoint problems and the issues of clean drinking water and healthcare system have been raised throughout Sindh.”
Speaking at an event organized by Sindh Chamber of Agriculture (SCA) in her honour in Naudero, Rizvi said near here that problems of Balochistan, Punjab and KPK were different but after formation of law against underage marriages, these weddings had reduced in Sindh. She said that communities would have to raise voices where ever such incidents occur.
Adding that, “We must report injustices committed anywhere by anyone and if we cannot do that then we should highlight relevant issues through Media so that authorities concerned are able to take strict action.”
She said that main reason of child deaths in Thar is underage marriages because, according to her, these produce negative health effects and kids born are very weak who cannot survive.
She asked the audience to give her written complaints for redressal and immediate action.
When asked about recovery of two kidnapped kids namely Sahil Korejo of Naundero and Fazeela Qazi of Thul despite so much time after the incident, she replied that a strong voice would be raised as to who is creating hindrances in the process of their recovery after securing full details of both cases.
