Unregistered Medical Practitioners in Pakistan

Federal Health Minister Makhdoom Shahabu Din told the National Assembly other day that there are 0.2 million unregistered medical practitioners in Pakistan. Though , he disclosed the figures but he did not tell the House that what measures are being taken against them.If the worthy Minister knows the number that would have definitely been collected quite long time ago , it is obvious that nothing has been done to curb this curse. The killing licenses are not only issued to non degree holder medical practitioners but to the drivers on roads who kill several and injure many per day. Most of them get driving licenses with out taking proper tests but only after presenting cash to the licensing authorities. In villages many Suzuki pick up drivers are young people who even do not bother to have driving license. What to speak of untrained medical practitioners , there are Fake degree holders advocates, medical doctors, and even fake degree holders are sitting in the assemblies. All these degrees are obtained by money. A few days back in a big city of the country, 200 lawers came to light who had no law degrees but were practicing in the courts since long. Similarly, in the same city in a government hospital two doctors who were brothers were arrested , having no medical degres but were employed in the hospital.They had been treating the patients and also carrying out surgical operations. What would have been the fate of their patients, one can imagine. This has been tradition now and no police warden can ask the children of VIP's about the documents of their vehicles, otherwise, the poor constable would be deprived of job. Other corruption though does not harm the lives of people , but doctors having no degrees or licenses kill many patients. We are Muslims but doing each and every act against the golden principles of Islam
