KARACHI: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) on Friday said the Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC) was not playing its role effectively as it had totally failed to introduce a “comprehensive” strategy to eradicate quackery from Sindh.
This was stated by president of the PMA Sindh chapter Dr Mirza Ali Azhar and general secretary of PMA Karachi Dr Abdul Ghafoor Shoro in a joint press conference held at PMA House.
Dr Mirza Ali Azhar said the basic purpose of formation of the SHCC was to register doctors and healthcare facilities to act swiftly when there was a complaint of any mishap at any healthcare facility either due to negligence of doctor/staff or any complication during treatment and management of patients, and to eradicate quackery at all levels.
