Do we need a new Heathcare system for Pakistan?

What a poor state of health in our Pakistan!!  We need to spend a lot more on health. In 2010, the infant(child younger than 1 year) is 70 according to UNICEF and 77 in Punjab according to the Punjab Health Department. There are only 37,272 for a population of above 81 Million with 70 percent living in the rural areas. We don't even have a current data on Health. Many doctors are migrating to other countries because of the poor working environment in the hospitals. Nobody seems to care about the health in this province. The journalists are busy in calling doctors as robbers and thieves. The Govt. has decided to use all of its strength to crack down on the doctors demanding their rights. The situation is getting worse and worse. The health department of Punjab is being run by politicians rather than professionals. What is happening here?! Can we not renovate Mayo and Ganga Raam instead of building bridges for Lahore?! A point to ponder! Following the sources of this information. Do check out the one by UNICEF as it is more credible!

The way they are now moving will create fear and hatred. Their way will create their control for only a short period of time and then the control will self-destruct. With Guns, they can control anybody physically but not Mentally. When the Sufi's first came to the sub-continent, they learnt the Culture of the Sub-continent. They just studied the fine details of the different traditions of the Sub-continent. They found out that Music was a good way to connect with the people. They used their common sense and utilized the Weapon of Melody and Installed the Basic Fundamentals of Islam in the Hearts and Minds of the People althought Music is considered to be HARAM by many Islam Scholars. They preached...

...moving on!

With a simple smile, one can create hopes and dreams. I smiled at a total stranger and she smiled back. I thought that perhaps smile is all one needs to begin new hopes and dreams. May be that is the secret ingredient to happiness and love. May be I would  never be able to talk to her. But It did give me the inspiration to write on this blog. An inspiration which is very hard to find these days. Its my nature that I cant stay away from hope.A song or a smile, Hope is all I need right now. But I am not sure how long I will be able to survive like this. But unless, I see some real results I can only rely on hope and prayers.
