Karachi:
The mayor of Karachi Murtaza Wahab, accompanied by the deputy mayor Salman Abdullah Murad, on Saturday, inaugurated Haemophilia Ward at the Abbasi Shaheed hospital.
The six -bed district, especially for women, has been made up of paramedical women.
Speaking during the inauguration, said the mayor, the treatment of hemophilia costs thousands of rupees, but taking into account the financial constraints of people, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) offered free treatment in its hospitals as part of the public-professional partnership.

He added that a male service had been set up four months ago, and with the creation of the female room, patients from all over the Sindh would benefit.
Wahab has also announced plans for free diagnostic tests and the creation of a gynecology room at Abbasi Shaheed hospital.
Wahab underlined the need for legislation and awareness campaigns for hemophilia tests.

He warned that protests, repair of banners, transport of signs and breeding of slogans for any reason would not be authorized in hospitals. “Those who do not work will have to go home,” he said.
Commenting on the city’s civic questions, Wahab said the city government, in coordination with Jamaat-E-Islami and MQM, decided to withdraw the encroachments from the whole metropolis. He specifically added that sometimes the government’s action is delayed due to court orders.
He admitted that determining the roads before the rains created difficulties for the citizens but confirmed that the repair work had already started.
