2013-02-01 |
[Dawn] Two more children died of measles in Lahore on Wednesday taking the corpse count to five in January. Health Department sources said one-year-old Zubair died at Children's Hospital and five-year-old Eman at Mayo Hospital due to measles complications. Also, another three dozen children suffering from measles were shifted to hospitals of the city. The number of measles-affected children is increasing day by day that shows the disease has taken an ugly turn towards epidemic. Over 400 measles-related cases have surfaced in January in the Punjab capital. Young Doctors Association, Pakistain, Secretary-General Dr Salman Kazmi, in a statement held the chief secretary, the director general of health, the EPI programme director and the health secretary responsible for the deaths and demanded their resignations. |
