Health issues in Pakistan.




Health issues in Pakistan are administrated mainly in the private sector which accounts for approximately 80% of all out patient visits. the public sector was until recently led by the ministry of health. which is the department for provision of medical services, responsible to frame the health policies at a national level. each of the four provinces of Pakistan has its respective health department under the supervision of health minister of that province controlled by directors and deputy directors.
we have a number of diseases in Pakistan which causes death including malaria, diarrhea, dengue fever, tuberculosis, cancer , HIV/AIDS,hepatitis and last but not the least polio. these diseases are controllable but sometimes it causes death because poor patients cannot afford expensive medication.
 There are countless hospitals in Pakistan but despite the death toll is increasing day by day . reasons :
expensive medicines hospitals were being supplied with expensive drugs . the prescribed medicine has to be given to most of the patients on a regular basis which is a tough task for a low income man. patients have to pay their private physician enormous amounts of money just to get a check up. this is the reason why the majority of the people are left with poor medical services. they have to stand in long queues to consult a government doctor and are offered poor medical treatment.

Many Pakistani doctors choose to migrate to other countries contributing brain drain and chronic skills shortage in country. according to survey there are over 17,000 doctors of Pakistani origin. Pakistan is the fourth highest source of international medical graduate doctors in U.S. migration of doctors revolves around the reasons of better structure of medical education, desire for better income.

Thousands of doctors across Punjab working at public hospitals resigned from their positions and many others went on strike after the provincial government failed to meet their demands for better compensation. Hospitals throughout the province reported severe difficulties and even deaths as a result of being desperately short staffed.

During late Jan  2012 , a fake medicine crisis at the Punjab institute of cardiology (PIC) Pakistan claimed the lives of over 100 heart patients according to various reports the incident involved patients who had been receiving treatment at hospital. the spurious medicine triggered a serious adverse reaction by depositing itself in the bone marrow and ending the body's resistance. according to sources, these medicines were also not being tested from the laboratories due to lack of selling and supply of country's manufacturer medicines companies , thousand of the workers have been rendered jobless.

In Pakistan major chunk of population is living below the poverty line in such scenario where from food to petrol everywhere fire of inflation has engulfed the poor man, the recently price hike in medicines has added another worry in the list of poor masses. recently the national and international pharmaceutical companies knocked at the door of health ministry to raise the prices where health ministry respond immediately without considering the impact of higher prices of medicines on common masses. the increase will give the people more to criticize against the ruling government in the backdrop of already ongoing corruption scandals.
                             
Pakistan's health care system is inadequate , inefficient and expensive public sector along with a mixed unregulated private sector. these poor conditions in the health sector may be attributed to a number of factors like poverty, malnutrition and unequal access to health facilities. the poor in Pakistan is not only deprived of financial resources but also lack access to secondary and tertiary health care services. according to WHO international standards the ratio of doctors to nurses should be 1:3 however this is reversed in the case of Pakistan ratio of doctors to nurses is 3:1 in Pakistan  according to PSLM as many as 77 percent households consult the private sector against only 23 percent to the public sector. the health issues in Pakistan are rising on its peak because lack of awareness, poverty and illiteracy. WHO sponsors programs to prevent and treat such diseases. as we have number of hospitals Government and ministry of health needs to be arranging , conducting health awareness programs and increased number of doctors so that middle class man and a poor patient can visit to doctor easily. these sectors needs to be regulated and monitored by Government.

vulgarity and sexuality in media


media is the source of information through different ways whether it's a news paper or it's a bill board, internet or television. media has succeed in each sector. when we think about media as a entertainer few things come in my mind sexuality and vulgarizer. why our media become so popular these days just because of sexuality and vulgarity content is broadcasting on different channels. and why it is on airing due to TRP's  of channels.
  
In the last ten years media has more vulgar and sexual as compared to last decade. when radio and news paper became popular, when vulgar songs, movies and sexual videos were censored but today censored content is broadcasting and peoples love to watch it with family  why we always forget the norms and values of our society ? this is the Pakistan where we follow islamic rules and regulations but forget to apply on every sector of life. media including net , newspaper, and television. t.v is become more popular among young generation why ? because of the content which is broad casting now a days . few topped dramas , advertisements i want to listed here where vulgarity on its sneak peak. starting with the social web few pages are there to promote vulgarity , advertisements which makes no sense are there to promote their product such as : slice mango  
 some of the top played songs contain lyrics that are so vulgar and sexual like munni badnam hui , sheila ki jawani and oh la la ab me jawan hogai. media basically promotes that type of songs and these songs become so popular among the young generation. the best example of it when we arrange some party or any other gathering kids and even young generation start dancing on these type of vulgar songs. i have a list of vulgar movies that are going to released very soon and in last ten years i saw a promo of vulgar movies just like"raaz", "race" "the dirty picture" and so many. These movies are not family movies where we sit altogether and start watching.    Here are so many advertisement with vulgar titles and discussing sex tips on it. some popular shows casually discuss about the subject of sex but some discuss it without any hesitation. Either its an internet or a bill board vulgarity rate is increasing day by day in our young generation. Our young generation knows more about it. Nasty jokes is also common in youngsters they discuss it openly infront of their friends and family. use of abusive language is increasing now a days the best example of it is youtube where we found every type of language what is this ? donot you think our media is exploited us ? and these things are exploited all over the media ? these things diverting our youth and exploited our society but rule of censorship is so relaxed today which is not be acceptable it's all need to be controlled ! 

Why I Love Face booking



"Facebook" now a days it's so popular among all the generations no matters it is use by oldies or a kiddies. it is a social networking service as we all know through this site we all are easy to interact with family and friends. as there are so many sites through which we can chat or calling easily but why i love face booking because:

  •  It has a number of "Mind Jolt" games which shows that still we are living our child hood we are back in a form, in that times when we used to play Mario and snooker, car racing etc. howzatt cricket and  castleville is so popular in youngsters when i log in to Facebook i always see that few of my friends are asking for "be my neighbors" and i always say that i am not interested in such games plz stop sending me request.
  •  Face book allows many users / friends to join in one group for chat for interact with each other. 
  • Fun tagging is also a part of fun through this we can laugh at least because due to tensions and problems it is very hard to laugh. fun tagging is a part of this site which make us feel that yes we are alive and keep your tensions aside.
  • My most favorite thing is to update a status and to inform my family and friends about happenings and whereabouts. due to updating my status and commenting with in a seconds on anyone's status my teachers say that i am so active on Facebook :P 
  •  uploading pics is one my favorite work on Facebook where my family and friends who live in abroad can see me and my family in pics just because of this fast furious social network.
  • one most important thing which i really want to thank Facebook is it reminds me birthdays of my beloved family because i have a very bad habit of forgetting birthday so Facebook is a good reminder for me. 
  • Facebook is becoming so advanced as it is announced video calling like skype if skype is not working use facebook video calling which is so much easy. and facebook messages i really like when i need to talk anyone i send him/her a facebook offline msg so that i can easily talk abroad. 

                                          Peoples ask me why i use facebook it is so annoying it is getting bore day by day for those people i must say that facebook is a site where we can easily communicate and interact with each other play games, join groups and different sites around the world. so, 
                        "Keep update your status, do commenting and enjoy Face booking". 
as i do. :) 

unnecessary money spendings



yesterday it was morning time when i was going to office in chinchi rickshaw i saw a man who wanted to go "drig road" asked to the driver that how much money will he charge to take him to the drig road. only rupees 10/= said driver. the passenger checked his jacket and he saw only 5 rupees in his pant pocket he was feeling ashamed at that time that he don't have enough money to travel in the chin chi. his eyes were full of tears at that time. the driver was in hurry or what i don't know but he allowed to that passenger to sit in the chin chi i will drop you no matters how much money you have?. after that i saw his eyes were like smiling he was felling happy that due to this chinchi he can reach to the exact place. at that time i was feeling very bad as this is not a big thing for any human nature but we don't think that we spend so much money on our accessories we always demand branded cloths, watches, or what ever we want in life. we are spendthrifts we don't think that money which we are spending on such useless things does not matter. the value of money knows only those who don't have money.
once a great philosopher said:
                                       "empty pockets teach you million things in life but full pockets spoils you in a million ways ".
and this is so right full pockets spoils us we have so many examples of it like we can see in shadi halls that how peoples waste food items, in parties we want branded cloths such as Gul Ahmed so that we can compete with the society, we can move in the society without this we are nothing. we have forget the message of ALLAH who said openly in QURAN:
                 "fuzul kharch shetan ka bhai hai".
but we had forgot this message and living our life but but but the fact which is always remain the same that what ever we do in our life, how much money we spend we just have to remember that everyone returns back to ALLAH in 2 gaz "kafan" which is not branded and same for all. 

Rewinding Memories of School Days. . .



School life is a golden time period of my life as in everyone's life. here i share fond memories of my school days. as i enjoyed alot in school days how ? i tell you. once upon a time when i was in class 6 one of  my teacher who taught sindhi taking her period during her period one of my class mate was feeling not bad and she was sitting beside me so my whole attention was there and not listening what she was studying to us. during her lecture she called me n said to call "mazia" from class ix. i was staring to her what she said, she was in a hurry not to listen what i asked to her because i asked her again to whom i call she said mazia but i heard masi :P i thought may be my friend not felling well so that she was calling to take her from the class. i checked all the classes but i didn't find masi there. after that i went to the ground floor and said to reception teacher to call masi  and going back to the class where teacher was waiting me. teacher asked where is she ? i said: coming. after 5 mins masi come to the class and said to teacher "kyu bulaya hai" ?
teacher looked at me and asked what is this ? before i said anything to her masi said kia masla hai akhir? teacher gave relief to her and said go from here now as she was very stricted at that time after that she took my class that i called mazia where is she ? i was amazed after listening the name of mazia i said in a innocent way that who mazia ? you called masi naa here she is :P :D haha she gave tough looks to me and scolded me badly :(  my all the class mates were laughing at that time. now i am not a school kid i am a student of Jinnah University but whenever me and my friends do get together must remembering these olden golden days of our lives.we had a great great time in school if i have a button of rewind than i definitely rewind my school days :)        

Apna Sapna Money Money



In this artificial world everyone's wants to be a millionaire through any sources either through their jobs or part time services. "Havis" of a person is increasing day by day and with this he is doing that sort of work which he/ she does not like personally or does not want to do but now running towards money is only their aim. there are many peoples around us who do not like some work but human heart is filled with different sort of desires and for the sake of that desires he/she must do that work in which he/she is not interested to do. In this materialistic world people running towards money earning money is not a bad thing but running toward money is a bad one. We have a number of examples out there.
 As i see on internet there is a plenty of sites which offers us to click on that link and become a millionaire. online jobs they offered even in news paper a lot of advertisements about earning money. "ghar bethe pese kamayen 25000 se 100,000 tak kamayen ". And due to all this things we are becoming greedy as we read in our schools "greed is curse" but today no one remember the proverb which is fact. and busy in our lives and in earning money. we all need actually from better to best so that we can control of our thirst of money.

A greedy person never gets satisfied in any stage of life and he always tried to get more and more so that he satisfied himself. we have read more stories about it.
But in this era the scenario has different everyone wants money in their life, in this materialistic world and just because of money money he forgot that which way is good and which way is bad for his.
To be millionaire is only their aim and for the sake of it he can do what ever he wants to do and whatever he does not want to do. so,
                                   "never be greedy be happy what ever you have"
              because in the end no single thing is remaining here "har cheez ko fana hai"
              but left only one thing which is that so called dream "apnaa sapna money money".  

Few things which i hate about Pakistani dramas





Pakistani dramas as playing a key role in our society peoples are anxiously waiting for the up coming dramas and episodes. they love actors and actresses for their act in dramas. few things i noticed in all of the dramas which i really hated to see on screen in Pakistani dramas are:

  • Past always revolve around the boy or a girl, he /she never forget about his/ her first love 
  • First love surely take a u turn and come back which we called climax of the story this is not actually climax this is what human mind thinking means if a girl wants to start a new life with her relations or hr new relationship we will never forget her past and forcing him/ her to think about that. many of the dramas i have seen on tv screen girl cheated her boyfriend or a boy cheated her girlfriend due to any reason and he / she always think about his / her past.
  • wives are playing a important role in every drama every women wants to see as that women playing their role "kahani ghar ghar ki" wives always play "mazloom role" in few of the dramas. 
  • Men always show their interest in other women , they always wanted to do 4 shadian as according to shar'ah. and the best example of this few days back i watched a drama "Qissa char darwesh" (ARY digital) what's the concept of this drama i don't know but i was switching the channels and saw this crap. 
  • Maa ! according to the name it has very respectful but but but now many dramas choose maa to play negative role in their dramas . maa always responsible to spoil her child's marriage / ghar. in any incident, in any case maa always prefer to his/ her child to take revenge and do another marriage ! means shadi na hui mazak hogya ? :O
  • datings, couplings are being focused in dramas 
last but not the least pakistani dramas are much much better than indian dramas i am not saying that i donot like pakistani dramas they are too too good but few actions and scenes which shoot during the dramas they considered as we are watching any indian drama including:

bed scenes which is adopted by indian dramas , revolving pasts memories , pregnancy scenes even they cover hospitals too, saas bahu saazishen n etc.
         I have never ever seen these scenes in Pakistani dramas when i was a kid and saw PTV dramas with my mom they were beautifully written no comparison between those dramas and now on aired dramas but today the life style has changed the expectations of the viewers has changed after star plus dramas "kahani ghar ghar ki and kyunki sas bi kabhi bahu thi and all that " when people used to watch those dramas.  peoples still tune in to star plus but they also tune in to "HUM TV, GEO entertainment". pakistani dramas are too too good but needs to be focused on that scenes which i highlighted and not to be aired on.
