In a video message posted on his twitter handle with regard to observance of the World Population Day on July 11 (today), the president said they wanted Pakistan to emerge as a healthier and prosperous country. He said in this connection, they had launched a programme titled ‘Khair Khawa’ which meant a person taking care for the well being of a family. “I want to talk about a very important issue which concerns the health of a mother and a child. I also want to bring to your attention the number of children in a prosperous household,” the president said while underlining the importance of birth spacing for a mother. He said that there were cases of malnutrition and stunting in those children who had been born with narrow birth spacing.
