Lahore: Health Becoming Critical Issue

Latest report has said that health is becoming a critical issue as it is not dealt properly. Dirty drinking water, pollution and various social issues were contributing to the health problems. On the other hand, the medical education remained non-research and lacking specialized researchers. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that no vaccine had yet been developed to treat diseases. "Hepatitis, TB and diabetes have been caused by local germs and we have yet to overcome them, Hence we must come up with different solutions by stressing on universities and research organizations to collaborate and develop products required to safeguard health, Health sector should ask health related universities to share resources and come up with joint projects. Meanwhile, the reporters who are affiliated to various newspapers should highlight the masses' problems rather than engaging themselves on debating issues like inclusion of religion column in passport, politicians joining different parties. There are some reforms which have been coming, like UHS (University Of Health Sciences Lahore)had granted provisional affiliation to three private medical colleges.

Pak Tea House

Before you read this article please grab a cup of tea. It shall double the enjoyment of reading this article.

Pak Tea House is a place in Lahore. Here most of the intellectual, country’s notably artistic, cultural and literary personalities, often visit. Here you can give your opinion and no one will judge you. People here work hard to translate their ideas into action. This place is often described as “The house of writers and thinkers who serve the nation selflessly.

The café was founded by a Sikh Family in 1932.  Later it was given to Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in 1940s. A local food supplier named Sirajuddin Ahmad rented the house from the YMCA administration and renamed it as "Pak Tea House" in 1947. It was shut down for some years but it was again inaugurated with the help of PM and Lahore Commissioner in 2013.

Raza Ahmed is a writer he has gathered some bloggers and they have made a blog named “Pak Tea House”. Here they try hard to support the culture of debate, pluralism and tolerance. They want to see Pakistan as a better place. Here they give ideas and brain storming is done. They want their ideas to become reality that leads us to an equitable, just and healthy society. 

People write different things on this blog to bring a positive change in our society. For example a blogger Farah Ehsan wrote an article about Ardeshir Cowasjee in Pak house tea. This is a great place where opinions collide with each other and come up with a solution to a particular problem. (Zeeshan Hameed)
