Hassan Iqbal Punjab Health secretary said that the Health Department had asked the federal government to take prompt action against diphtheria in Sindh after a case of the disease was confirmed there. The government did not want the disease to spread to the Punjab, as had happened with measles, resulting in an outbreak that has claimed hundreds of lives in the province. To another question, the secretary said that private medical colleges and hospitals would be made to comply with the law. Private medical colleges must arrange house jobs for their graduates on their own or pay the Health Department to accommodate them in government hospitals.
