Appreciation for the launch of National Health Program..!

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

Sir.

May Allah Bless you for the auspicious launching of the National Health Program, on the advent of the New Year 2016.

In fact, history will record this fact and posterity will stand as a witness that no ruler in this region, launched such a life touching and innovative welfare initiative, for the poorest of the poor.

In this regard, you, your team and your government deserve fullest Kudos and appreciation for the awesome gift on the eve of the New Year 2016, to the poor people of Pakistan, living below the poverty line.

Here, it will be very appropriate to remind that Islam considers all life forms as sacred. However, the sanctity of human life is accorded a special place. The first and the foremost basic right of a human being is the right to live.

I am more than sure that the NHP will save many lives of the poor sick Pakistanis, by way of affording them best possible treatment, available in the country.

Sir, it is also to be kept in consideration that not only diseases kill people, but poverty and unemployment is also a big killer and a cause, for the lawlessness and severe unrest in the country.

As such, your government should also consider launching of mega projects like Kalabagh dam, (only statesmen like you can take tough decisions like nuclear explosion and NAP’s strict implementation) huge water reservoirs and new water canals to channelise flood waters for productive agricultural usage.

Building of new most modern and absolutely world class sports cities, in Public Private Partnership mode, in each province, can also provide jobs, channelise the energies of youth and improve the level of sports in the country; and may be in the coming years, help in the holding of world sports championships and games, like commonwealth games etc.

Moreover, Pakistan also has one of the biggest tourism potential in the region. Acountry like Turkey (which is also facing terror problem) is earning almost $20 billion annually, only from tourism.

The beauty of our hilly areas is second to none in the world.

Similarly, beach facilities from Karachi to Gawadar, if developed on modern lines, can attract huge number of tourists from Russian States and other countries.

Pakistan should also harness the opportunities of medical tourists from abroad, specially in the field of comparatively very cheap dental treatment.

It is hoped that the day is not far away, when InshaAllah, Pakistan will turn into a land of peace and opportunities, for the entire region.

With best wishes and kind regards.
