Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday said that provision of universal access to quality essential health services was the constitutional responsibility of the Government that recognized the importance of addressing Tuberculosis (TB) as a public health priority.
\nThe government has implemented various programmes and policies to combat this disease, the prime minister said in a message on World TB Day.
\n\u201cOn this World TB Day 2024, I applaud the services of everyone committed to the fight against tuberculosis and reiterate our Government\u2019s resolve towards supporting the initiatives aimed at eradicating TB and improving the health and well-being of our citizens,\u201d PM Office Media Wing, in a press release, quoted the prime minister as saying.
\nThe prime minister said Tuberculosis remained a significant global health challenge, causing immense suffering and claiming far too many lives every year. \u201cIt is crucial that we prioritize TB elimination in our global health agenda and allocate resources accordingly. Together, we can harness innovation, research, and technology to accelerate progress towards a TB-free world,\u201d he added.
\nThe prime minister said that while they strived to provide equitable health services to their citizens, they deeply appreciated the role of the private sector and our global partners. \u201cI call upon all partners, organisations, healthcare professionals, and individuals to unite in our efforts to end TB.
\nWe must work collaboratively to strengthen healthcare systems, increase access to quality diagnosis and treatment, and raise awareness about the importance of TB prevention and control measures,\u201d he stressed. The prime minister further pledged to work together, leaving no room for complacency, in their mission to eliminate TB from Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
