The incidents related to dog bites are increasing day by day. The victims who have been affected by the dog attacks are severely injured. It seems that the local authorities are taking this seriously.
Earlier Telegraph reported that health officials in the province of Sindh said doctors in the city of Karachi were seeing as many as 150 dog bite cases a day and 11 people have died so far this year.
Governor Sindh, who was talking to the media after he visited the dog-bite victim child Hasnain at the NICH hospital on Monday, stated that anti-dog breeding measures not only had to be taken in the province but in the whole country.
Imran Ismail said in the past dog-killing campaigns were launched, but now killing dogs had become a sensitive issue. The governor further added that the prime minister was quite concerned about the people of Sindh and he had visited Hasnain on his directive.
According to Dawn, NICH director Dr Jamal Raza, while briefing the governor, said that the condition of Hasnain had comparatively improved and he was being provided best available treatment at the hospital and a panel of specialist doctors had also been constituted and necessary treatment was being provided to the patient as per advice of the panel doctors.
We don’t have medical facilities in rural areas, and in the worst condition, the patients have to travel to big cities for treatment. Some don’t make it, few do. Our government needs to take measures to provide its citizens with relevant health facilities.
