Governor Kundi Praises PRCS Free Medical Camps, Highlights Healthcare Initiatives

Governor Faisal Karim Kundi praised the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) for delivering free medical services in remote regions. He emphasized the organization’s consistent efforts to support communities in need during a recent visit to a free health camp in Lassan Thakral, Mansehra.

PRCS Medical Camp Draws Governor’s Appreciation

The Governor lauded the PRCS medical team for treating hundreds of male and female patients at the camp. Free medicines were distributed to attendees, offering significant relief to underserved populations. He noted that such initiatives in far-flung areas are vital for improving public health access.

Furthermore, Governor Kundi announced plans to expand these medical camps to other remote parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He stated that two key agreements will soon be finalized to assist thalassaemia patients and individuals requiring dialysis treatment. The goal, he added, is to enhance healthcare facilities and foster self-reliance in underprivileged communities.

The Governor also recognized PRCS’s outstanding role during flood emergencies. The organization provided relief supplies and financial aid to affected families, demonstrating its commitment to crisis response. However, he highlighted ongoing challenges in resolving CNG and wheat supply issues through provincial government channels.

Focus on Federal-Provincial Cooperation

Governor Kundi welcomed the chief minister’s proposal for joint efforts to address provincial concerns. He stressed that collaboration between federal and provincial authorities is crucial for tackling Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s pressing issues. Additionally, he thanked the Prime Minister for resolving the CNG supply problem.

He pointed out that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ranks as Pakistan’s second-largest oil and gas producer after Balochistan. According to the Constitution, he said, resource-rich provinces have the first right to their natural resources. Consequently, restrictions on wheat transportation were deemed unconstitutional and illegal.

The Governor confirmed that he had raised complaints about barriers in wheat movement and unauthorized toll collections with the Prime Minister. He pledged to advocate for the province’s constitutional rights and public welfare at every opportunity. His remarks underscored the need for equitable resource distribution and transparent governance.
