In Imranae Malik’s case in particular there has been much controversy. My condolences are with her parents, but one ought to look at the case with absolute impartiality. It is quite likely that in the course of the investigation we will learn that the doctors ‘killed’ her. Sadly however, no questions will be asked of how Imranae was able to hurt herself in the first place and why her parents were so insistent upon ensuring their daughter stopped crying despite the fact that they have admitted she had suffered a “very small burn.”

If the doctors in this case are going to be hanged, as they rightly should, the parents’ too should be held accountable for their role in demanding medical services which were, in all likelihood, unessential. Putting the doctors on trial, while leaving the public to continue to behave with a culture of unnecessary medical intervention is mere hypocritical witch-hunt and actually detracts from a much larger problem.

Currently Pakistan has neither a public health policy of great consequence, nor any semblance of a proper health care system that can efficiently serve the public. The national government, in consultation with all the provinces, must develop a holistic policy that addresses such issues as clean water, environmental deterioration, food security, and education in addition to an overhaul of the medical profession and allied services.

Unfortunately, what we have seen instead from successive governments in Pakistan is the total lack of appreciation for the interrelatedness of these issues. Instead of making potable water available, the government cannot even maintain sufficient levels of irrigation water. On the environmental front there is a shocking lack of foresight and understanding, and environmental sustainability has been reduced to planting trees. The states of education and food security speak for themselves. Whereas the Armed Forces have been able to develop a good health care system, the government has been unable to replicate the same for the rest of the public.

Countries like UK, Canada and especially Cuba are shining examples of excellent health care systems that can be followed provided there exist leaders with vision and the will to act.

They are slowly coming to light. But its sad, isnt it.
If you are not that tech savvy to make a facebook group or make a website, or educated enough to take it to the courts.No one hardly takes a notice of whats going on- Including the media.
I have been reading similar cases in the mainstream newspapers for months but not one of them generated this kind of buzz.
Once again justice has only favored people who had the means,money and capacity to shout out and fight back.
if you have been a victim and no ones taking notice then you better wait till someone important gets run over. Hopefully You’ll get your justice along with them.
