Mustafa Kamal has said that the increasing trend of thalassemia in Pakistan is worrying. According to details, Federal Health Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal, while addressing a ceremony at a private thalassemia care center, said that due to the negligence of the government and the nation, children with thalassemia are being born. He said that we should get the boy tested before marriage in any case. Should we give polio drops at gunpoint and also get the test done at gunpoint? He further said that our tragedy is that we send the police along to administer polio drops.
