Sir: Good medicines and good treatment are the only source by which diseases can be controlled, but there situation is different from realities because fake and counterfeit medicines are very common and freely available in market and our health department never bothers to eradicate such menace Children under 4 or 5 age are mostly affected different kind of diseases by these counterfeit medicines. In of any medical emergency poor people cannot afford to go big cities for treatment and they are bound to buy these fake medicines. These fake medicine are definitely very harmful for us human beings Unfortunately in Turbat, the citizens are facing such counterfeit medicines a lot. I appeal health department to look into this matter and save lives. SALMA GR Turbat Published in Daily Times, November 15th 2018.
