Pakistani Minister hails UAE’s support
Tarar says UAE projects helped meet the needs of many patients
Saira Afzal Tarar, Pakistan’s Minister of State for National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination, has commended the UAE leadership for their efforts and support to the health sector in Pakistan through the implementation of several health projects in different regions of the country.
During an exclusive interview with Emirates News Agency (WAM) Saira hailed the efforts to help Pakistan exerted by President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
The Minister added that the UAE’s support for Pakistan goes back to the days of the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who she said was a great supporter and true friend of Pakistan.
“It was he who ordered the construction of the Shaikh Zayed Hospital in Lahore, and another in the city of Quetta. These two hospitals have contributed to meeting the needs of patients by providing treatment and medication to the people of those cities,” she said.
Tarar also thanked the UAE Government on behalf of the Pakistani Government, for the Pakistan Assistance Programme (PAP) a UAE initiative to fight polio in KPK and Waziristan, which the Minister said was a gift that was much needed in those areas.
Speaking on the Shaikha Fatima Bint Mubarak hospital that opened in North Waziristan, Saira said that the hospital was desperately needed in that area and is supplying both locals and people from across Pakistan with high-standard emergency, maternity, childcare and other medical needs.
Commenting on the World Health Organisation report, in which Pakistan was listed as the only country in the world with increasing numbers of polio cases, with 91 cases in 2013 compared with 58 children contracting the disease in 2012, she said, “It is a fact that Pakistan is the only remaining country which exports polio.”
The Minster pointed out that 90 per cent of the country is polio-free, and that the disease is now only found in Karachi, Peshawar and North Waziristan.
