KARACHI, Jan 1: Director of Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) Prof Adibul Hasan Rizvi has stressed the need for ensuring provision of best health-care and educational facilities to the poor sections of the society.

Addressing a ceremony held to pay tribute to noted writer Mohammad Ibrahim Joyo for his services, he said that free health-care and education were basic and fundamental rights of a human being.

“This exactly is the foundation stone of SIUT philosophy which has taken upon itself to provide quality health-care for free with dignity to all patients,” said Prof Rizvi.

He said that all this had been possible through the financial and philanthropic support of the government and the public.—APP
