Parents to receive invitations for vaccinating children
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department will launch a campaign from Sunday (tomorrow) to scale up awareness among parents of the significance of immunisation against nine vaccine-preventable childhood ailments.
“The campaign seeks to increase the immunisation rate from the existing 47 per cent and safeguard children against avoidable diseases,” officials said, adding that the drive would be run for three months in Peshawar every Sunday.
In the biggest-ever immunisation campaign in the province, about 12,000 ‘Sehat Razakaar’ (health volunteers) will go door to door and distribute invitation coupons among the parents, requesting them to bring their children for vaccination to their nearest centres run by the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) at government hospitals, they said.
The parents will be asked to fill up and return the coupons to the health workers and ensure to bring their less than two-year-old children for vaccination.
The officials said that the children would get free vaccination against tuberculosis, polio, diphtheria, pertusis, tetanus, hepatitis ‘B’, haemophilus influenza, pneumonia and measles.
They said that routine immunisation for child-related illnesses had suffered a great deal in the past because the health workers remained preoccupied with anti-polio campaigns and gave little attention to other ailments.
Under the ‘Sehat Ka Insaf’ programme, the government wants to scale up routine immunisation and protect children.
The officials said that many private hospitals and clinics had been selling these vaccines, but parents couldn’t afford their cost and as such let their children exposed to dangerous diseases.
For instance, private outlets have been charging Rs4,000 for pneumonia vaccination of a child, which was out of reach of the poor, they said.
The officials said that a total of 210,000 households in 80 union councils would be targeted in the campaign during which coupons would be delivered to them.
They said that the invitation cards had been designed in line with the Pakhtun culture of “Sut” (invitation) so that people felt honoured to accept them.
They said that about 50 per cent of the targeted children in the city had been without vaccination due to which many deaths had occurred in the past few years.
Measles has been claiming lives of dozens of children every month due to non-vaccination, they added.
According to the officials, these vaccines could not be taken door to door as the government required qualified technical staff to administer them to children.
Therefore, the programme has been designed to inform the people about the importance of vaccination so they could bring their children to the nearest government hospitals.
The remaining UCs will be targeted on next Sundays.
The initiative will guide and enable the parents to visit the health facilities and get their children immunised.
The campaign has already been carried out on the past two Sundays in which only polio vaccination was carried out, the officials said.
The next 10 days will witness vaccination of all childhood diseases in Peshawar after which the same programme will be extended to other districts of the province.

Equal and opposite reaction?: PESCO disconnects supply to six villages in CM’s constituency
NOWSHERA: The power supply to six villages of PK-13, Nowshera – the constituency which elected Chief Minister Pervez Khattak – was disconnected by Peshawar Electric Supply Company (Pesco) officials on Sunday.
According to Pesco subdivisional officer (SDO) Abbas Khan, the action was taken after villagers refused to pay their bills. “Despite multiple warnings, residents did not clear their outstanding dues, and the electricity supply was cut off to Doran, Mali Khel, Qasim Khel, Gul Dheri, Manahi and Pethao,” explained Khan.
The six villages owe the utility company a total of Rs2.5 million in unpaid bills, said Khan.
A majority of the villagers have not paid their bills since the past five years, shared the SDO. Pesco officials have been visiting the area for the last three months to convince them to pay up but to no avail.
Pesco had also sent a notification to the Nowshera police to arrest the defaulters, however, Azakhel, Akora Khattak and Nowshera Kalan police did not take any action.
“We gave them a list of 132 people, from the villages, who were stealing electricity and FIRs were lodged against them, but the police failed to arrest even a single person,” said Khan.
Forcing PESCO’s hand?
Pesco chief Tariq Sadozai had directed the utility’s Nowshera officials to cut off supply to villages where 60% residents refused to pay bills, stated Khan. After the order, Pesco officials visited the villages once again to convince villagers to pay up but they refused; forcing the officials to take away their electricity meters.
“Following this, the villagers installed kundas, forcing us to disconnect the supply even though a few people were paying their bills,” added Khan.
“It is not possible for us to supply electricity to just one or two houses,” he contended.
The SDO maintained the supply will remain disconnected until defaulters pay back what they owe the company.
He also claimed the police was not cooperating with Pesco in the matter which is why it has still not been resolved.

you idiot PESCO is under federal control not in KPK government's control .............idiocy no.1
same as the company that supplies electricity to Sindh government
All Pakistan's electric supply companies lay under federal jurisdiction
by Zardari's constituency i meant Nawab Shah or BB's Sukkhar .............idiocy no.2
is kpk only where electricity theft is or is it because its vandaeta or petty gandi politics that pmln is famous for
Has PESCO cut its own chiefs electricity for "kundas"?
Did PTI want to sell all Pakistan's assets to its buddies or in a hurry to sell sugar to India and give them MFN even milinig military for stopping trade or bringing dollar to a new high or bringing costs of daily things to a new height i think not so think about sethi as 35 punctures wali tube ab nae chal sakti
