severe diseases. Owing to this poor sanitary condition W.H.O
projected the idea of oral polio vaccination.
number of doctors is less to tackle the problems of health: In
Punjab only 1400 doctors qualify every year where as statistics show
that every year 70, 000 babies born in Punjab.
The infrastructure is undeveloped: it is because the quakes are
performing in every nook and corner of the country without any
fear of accountability.
The medicine companies are indulging in minting money with the
help of dishonest doctor, consequently killing many people.
