Sir: The lack of healthcare and proper nutrition is an emerginn threat for the poor. People living in rural areas are at the verge of negligence where we cannot see local hospitals for proper treatment. Especially in Sindh, many poor people from small villages are dying because of unclean drinking water and unsafe food. According to a local doctor, 17 out of 21 people lose their lives because of home-made toxic cough syrup and patent medicines people don’t afford. It is time to rectify health problems.
