It seems the widening gulf between the provinces and the Centre may have swallowed a critical health project. The project had been designed to provide support to the provinces in mitigating the impact of the deadly respiratory disease. It was twice presented before the Central Development Working Party, and while its umbrella project was approved, the final, revised project concept paper could not be passed. On the surface, it appears that a health project at this critical stage where the fatal virus is witnessing a resurge across the country is falling to such a discord. The federation needs to do more to include the provinces while the provinces would do well to cooperate with the federation.
