I WOULD like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the health hazards faced by people in Turbat.

The civil hospital is the biggest hospital across Kech district which is found to be in a poor state. There is little or no medical waste management.

Undoubtedly, due to the mismanagement of the administration in disposing medical waste in a proper way, a large number of people fall victim to several diseases.

I appeal to the authorities concerned to take notice of this issue as soon as possible.
