Sindh: A baby bitten by a dog has died in the lap of the mother due to the lack of vaccine

In Sindh, a 10-year-old boy lost his life after missing dog vaccination. A family from Shikarpur went under these circumstances when their 10-year-old child, Mir Hassan was bitten by a dog and was taken to the district's public and private medical centers for treatment. Despite hospital rotations, their parents could not get vaccines to treat their son. So, the parents reached the Commissioner's Office to get an anti-rabies vaccine. However, the doctors there also refused to treat the child and declared him inoperable.

In this regard, local people said that Shikarpur has a lack of vaccine, people from this district and Jacobabad come to us for vaccination but we have a shortage of vaccines. They said that when rabies becomes positive it is not cured anywhere in the world.

Later on, the baby’s mother kept crying for not getting the vaccine, meanwhile, the 10-year-old baby was distressed in her mother's lap.

The grieving father said that we continued to visit the hospital in various areas for treatment, where doctors injected and when the child got a fever, he was taken to Sultan Kot where he was dripped. He said that then we had come home with and the child had eaten a swallow which he vomited.

Talking about the baby, the helpless father said that the dog had been bitten by the child two days before Eid-ul-Adha, for which we went to different hospitals for vaccination but the vaccine was not provided.

80% STUDENTS FAILED MEDICAL COLLEGES ENTRANCE TEST

80% STUDENTS FAILED MEDICAL COLLEGES ENTRANCE TEST

·         Whether there are teachers fault?

·         Whether there are students fault?

·         Whether there is education system fault?

·         Whether there is examination system fault?

Entrance test for admission in different medical and dental colleges all over Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa held on 25^th August 2019. The result was declared on 26^th August 2019 and it was found that 82% of students have failed entrance test. ETEA(Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency) conducts this test every year. This year, a total of 44,000 students sat the test. Out of these 44,000 students, only 8,000 of them passed it putting the pass rate of 18.4%.

                The students study in Peshawar and in their corresponding villages for the preparation of the ETEA test. 20% of the students clear the ETEA medical test in 3^rd attempt. 30% clear in the 2^nd attempt. They study the whole year so as to get a name as ‘Dr’.

                It is obviously a very low percentage and this has put a huge stress on the mass’s mind. Most of the people blame the poor performance of the student s whereas most of them are against the teaching methodology. The whole student's mind becomes descriptive on the intermediate level where each paper was 85% descriptive having long questions, while the result comprised short questions. Secondly, here a concept of students has been developed that only those students pass the ETEA test who get admissions in coaching academies and have high marks in intermediate. In my opinion, the only solution is, ETEA test method and pattern should be in such a way that it correlates with the intermediate examination procedure.
