Meanwhile, Mr Hussain on Tuesday urged countries in the region to set aside their differences and work in unison for a better and prosperous South Asia. He was addressing the opening ceremony of the SAARC mother-child care conference in Islamabad.
The President said, “Our contiguity and similar socio-economic conditions demand a collective effort to address the important social issues of maternal and child healthcare.”
He said the government was giving top priority to the health of mothers and their children, and striving to deliver basic health care facilities.
