SHCC forms strategy to eradicate quackery

KARACHI: Dr Ahson Qavi Siddiqi, Chief Executive Officer, Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC), said that health is a fundamental human right, and efforts are underway to improve the health delivery system. 

He stated that the COVID-19 pandemic had re-defined the overall health care delivery system, hindering primary access to health care, therefore creating challenges for regulators to manage the rapidly rising needs and diversity. Likewise, they had also witnessed the rising cases of quackery in the province. 

He pledges to ensure quality and accessibility of health care through training, governance and licensing of health care providers and establishments in the province of Sindh. He informed the audience that special measures are being put in place to control the menace of quackery with the support of our partner stakeholders. 

Dr Ahson Qavi said SHCC believed that all relevant stakeholders in the health care delivery system were essential and should work in mutual collaboration with one another.
