KARACHI
The Provincial Minister for Information, Labour and Human Resources Saeed Ghani has said that the way Sindh government is serving the people from kidney and liver transplantation to the treatment of heart diseases and other health facilities are being provided to the common man absolutely free, like nowhere else in the other three provinces.
If government of rest three province is providing, kindly let us know. Institutions like Dow University, NICVD and SIUT are providing excellent services with the support of Sindh government. Based on these services, it can be said with certainty that the next mayor of Karachi will be from PPP.
He expressed these views in inaugural session of International Conference on “Achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals” set by the United Nations under the auspices of Dow University of Health Sciences.

Addressing the conference, Provincial Minister Saeed Ghani said that the United Nations had set 17 Sustainable Development Goals in the world by 2015 for 2030. Most of the countries in the world including Pakistan have failed to achieve these 17 goals but in the province of Sindh, the performance in the fields of education and health is satisfactory and better than the rest of the provinces.
He said that 47,000 teachers were recruited on merit in Sindh. This has never happened in the history of Pakistan. Our Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s vision was that even if elections were lost, he would not compromise on the health and life of the people of the province.
He said that the government of Sindh was bringing “Benazir Mazdoor Card” for all the workers in every field of social security including health and education under which all facilities would be provided.

While Talking to media, Saeed Ghani said that PTI has been wiped out from KPK, Punjab and Sindh. We are trying to hold local body elections in Sindh as soon as possible. There have also been by-elections and cantonment elections in which the performance of PPP has been significant while PTI has been losing. It can be used to gauge the tendency of people.
PTI and the MQM want to run away from the elections by making a fuss so that they can remain dominant in the eyes of people. They more said that, our government wish to spend more money on the people of Sindh. Doctors and paramedical staff should not call a strike.
Addressing the conference, Clara Dube, UNICEF Representative in Sindh, said that theme of the conference, “Progress Towards Health, Education and Prosperity,” has grown in importance since the destruction of Covid-19, as the UNO agenda 2030 was set. Covid- 19 negates our efforts in a positive direction to achieve our goals. She said that achieving the set goals is not possible without protecting the rights of children, adding that UNICEF seeks solutions to the challenges and problems facing the world through research and innovation.
