The government of Sindh is spending a substantial part of its budget on the betterment of health sector but there are little or no signs of improvement in this particular sector.

This was stated by MPA Khairunissa Mughal while addressing on the occasion of distribution of motorcycles to vaccinators at DHO Office in cooperation with the USAID in Mirpurkhas. 

She regretted that the percentage of protective vaccination in urban areas was 29% while in rural areas it was 14%, which should have been 100%. 

She said that government was taking practical steps to bring improvement in the sectors of education and health. She advised the vaccinators to discharge their duty with the sense of responsibility. She directed the officials of health department to keep an eye on the working of vaccinators and suspended them if found negligent in duty. 

Addressing the occasion Depauty Commissioner, Rasheed Ahmed Zardari, said that District Health Department was giving special attention on the betterment of health department. 

The USAID Programme Manager for Mother and Child Health, Dr Duleep Kumar, said that 550 motorcycles are distributed among vaccinators of 15 districts of Sindh by USAID in order to complete the vaccination task by 100%. District Health Officer Dr Ghulam Ghous Khan, doctors and vaccinators were present on the occasion.
