QUETTA: PMA conference begins

Published December 25, 2004

QUETTA, Dec 24: The 26th biennial conference of the Pakistan Medical Association was inaugurated here on Saturday night. Around 400 doctors from all over the country are participating in the four-day conference.

PMA's newly-elected president Dr Omar Ayub Khan took oath of office at the opening session of the conference.

Vice Chancellor of the Peshawar Engineering University Imtiaz Hussain Gilani said that the masses were still deprived of good health care. He said that while the government spent large sums of money to provide medical education, doctors, instead of serving their own people, preferred to go abroad to earn more money.
