He said that residents of Larkana were grateful to Sindh government, chief minister and health department that we had Trauma Centre and emergency facilitation service in Larkana and had activated it according to international standards.

 Trauma centre would be linked with trauma center in Karachi. He said that 1122 ambulance service would be started in Larkana also and it would provide health services to people here. He said that this service had been started in Karachi and he wanted other big cities of Sindh, Larkana, Sukkur and Hyderabad to start this service there and Larkana trauma centre in style of NICVD in every division and district headquarters. He said we will make international standards. He said that ‘I know that we have few resources and many problems and gradually, we will work together not only in health but also in education and other fields but we have other programmes that will be worked on’. He said that emergency services are most needed in hospitals adding earlier mortality rate statistics of women and children were alarming considering this, so we were working with Child Life Foundation to establish emergency services for children in every district. He said that wards had been established and according to international standards, children’s emergency services would be provided in every district of Sindh together with Child Life Foundation.  He said that Imran Khan had become story of past and story was over. People of Pakistan defeated undemocratic and selected forces and elected democratic forces whenever they had got opportunity, he added.
