by
Health Minister calls
  • Provincial Minister for Health  Dr. Azra Fazal Pechuho held a meeting with the Committee for Health and Medical Management of Flood Affectees
  • She stated that there is a real need to prioritize the needs of pregnant women IDPs across the province
  • Health awareness sessions are being carried out at the health facilities by the Sindh Health Department

 

KARACHI: Provincial Minister for Health and Population Welfare, Dr. Azra Fazal Pechuho held a meeting with the Committee for Health and Medical Management of Flood Affectees.

The meeting was attended by members of the committee and Secretary Health, Zulfiqar Shah, DG Health, Dr. Juman Bahoto, Director MIS, Dr. Waqar Memon, and others.

Dr. Azra Fazal Pechuho stated that there is a real need to prioritize the needs of pregnant women IDPs across the province. She said that if possible all pregnant women along with their families are moved to fixed camps and ambulances be provided to cater to their emergencies. Currently, there are discrepancies in the number between NGOs, LHWs, and DHOs.

This is why, she added, there is an urgent necessity to register all pregnant women, maternal and infant deaths as well as more women doctors to ensure that women IDPs are getting access to healthcare.
Azra Pechuho mentioned that the resources have been distributed to the DHOs who have the funds to procure the medications, however, due to shortages in the general market, these are falling short in supply.

The concern of water contamination brought up various means of solutions however the most sustainable of these were decided to be installing handpumps in the areas where there are reliable sources of clean water. The DG Office is keeping track of relief work via geo-mapping as it is the need of the hour.

President calls for documentation of business for levying just and fair taxes

by
Workshop
  • President called upon the chambers of commerce and industry to motivate and convince their members to fully document their businesses for bringing transparency
  • He said that non-documentation and lack of transparency in the business processes and resultant low tax collection compelled the government to resort to indirect taxation
  • President urged the business community to voluntarily pay due taxes which, he said, would provide liquidity to the government for improving roads, utilities, and other services

 

ISLAMABAD- President Dr. Arif Alvi has called upon the chambers of commerce and industry to motivate and convince their members to fully document their businesses for bringing transparency in the business inputs and outputs which would lead to the levying of just and fair taxes.

This, he said, would increase the tax base and tax collection, minimize incidents of corruption and corrupt practices, and would eventually lead to reduced taxation on businesses. He said that non-documentation and lack of transparency in the business processes and resultant low tax collection compelled the government to resort to indirect taxation.

He expressed these views while addressing the Achievement Awards Ceremony organized by the Sargodha Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), at Aiwan-e-Sadr.

The President said that Pakistan was the fifth largest country in terms of population and, therefore, it should also be the fifth most important country in terms of socio-economic growth.

He said that our youth bulge should be provided with high-quality skills, especially in the IT sector, our businesses need to create close linkages with the research and development institutions and Universities to bring qualitative and quantitative improvement into their goods and services and expand their reach in the existing export markets and exploring new export markets.

The President urged the business community to voluntarily pay due taxes which, he said, would provide liquidity to the government for improving roads, utilities, and other services for the business community.

The President said that the Small and Medium Scale industries were the backbone of the country’s economy and that the government should further improve the policy, licensing, and regulatory regime.

The President said that industries and businesses played a key role in the progress and development of the country and the prosperity of its people. He appreciated the industrialists and businessmen of Pakistan for achieving the highest ever export growth.
