| 2014-12-12 |
| [DAWN] Professors, doctors and post-graduate students, who were visiting famine-hit Tharparkar district of Sindh to provide healthcare assistance and to determine causes of malnutrition, are asked by administration and police to leave the area on Thursday. Malnutrition, according to doctors, is the leading cause of a large number of deaths of newborns in Tharparkar and such deaths continue to take place with doctors working at district headquarter hospital of Mithi attributing them to reasons like pre-term labour cases, repeated pregnancies and asphyxia.
