KARACHI, Feb 22: Sindh Health Minister Syed Sardar Ahmad said that all town health officers in the city would be brought under the administrative control of the respective town nazims.

During a visit to the town office in Gulberg on Thursday, the minister said that instead of keeping the town health officers answerable to the executive district officer (health), they would be given under the town nazims concerned, so that health-related complaints and problems of any town could be sorted out within the town immediately.

Syed Sardar said that the government had made it a point that citizens should be provided with good healthcare facilities near their residents. — Staff Reporter
