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.
