Jildi leishmaniasis mutasira rait makkhi (sand fly) ke katne se phailti hai. Is se jild par khule zakhm ban jate hain jinhein bharne mein mahine lag sakte hain aur jo aksar chehre, bazuon, aur tangon par mustaqil nishan chhor jate hain. Bayan ke mutabiq yeh bimari sehat ki sahuliyat tak mehdood rasai rakhne wali ghareeb aabadiyon, khaas taur par khawateen aur bachon ko sab se zyada mutasir karti hai.
Ek dawa jo Pakistan ko import karni parti hai
Glucantime, jo meglumine antimoniate ka ek brand hai, import ki jati hai, aur maazi ki wabaon mein soobe ko is dawa ki qillat ka samna raha hai. Hawalgi ki taqreeb se khitab karte hue Dr Awan ne bairon-e-mulk se dawa ki khareedari mein darpesh mushkilat ka aitraf kiya aur kaha ke mehkama apne wasail se is ki farahmi ke liye funds ke tareeqe talaash kar raha hai taake ilaj atiya kiye gaye zakheere par munhasir na rahe.
Unhon ne mamool ke programmes aur hangami halaat donon mein soobai mehkama-e-sehat ki madad par Unicef ka shukriya ada kiya.
Unicef ne guzishta mahine kaha tha ke us ne Khyber Pakhtunkhwa mein waba se mutasira bachon aur khandanon ke ilaj ke liye 75,000 vials faraham kar di hain. Us waqt tak January se soobe mein 10,500 se zyada cases report ho chuke thay, jin mein se 4,400 se zyada 16 saal se kam umar bachon ke thay. In adviyat ki miyaad teen saal hai aur inhein muntakhib tibbi marakiz ke zariye taqseem kiya jayega, taake aainda wabaon mein bhi in se kaam liya ja sake.
Pakistan mein Unicef ki numainda Pernille Ironside ne us waqt kaha tha, “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa mein leishmaniasis ki waba ne hazaron bachon ko mutasir kiya hai, jin mein se bohat se bachon ko dard, badnami, aur ilaj na hone ki soorat mein taweel muddati pechidgiyon ke khatre ka samna hai.”
