Book on infectious diseases

LAHORE

Punjab Health Department has sought a copy of the book “Sehat Taleem Se” (Health by Education) from young authors from Mayo Hospital on the directive by the chief minister.

According to a press release issued here on Saturday, the book written by around 20 doctors of Mayo Hospital has details of 34 infectious diseases, which are communicable.

YDA Pakistan General Secretary Dr Salman Kazmi has made this book keeping in view the facts that in the last four years at least 150 peoples have died because of dengue, 230 babies because of measles, 45 children due to diphtheria and 10 due to Congo fever. 

The already existing book of 17 pages made by Punjab Education Department was insufficient to address the issue.

The book made by doctors of Medicine and Pediatrics Departments will help save thousands of lives in future by educating the public and schoolchildren about these diseases.
