					<description><![CDATA[It is a very good effort. However there is a very strong tendency of most writers that they dewll into past. Most of the articles are about what happened, sounds more like a rhetoric. Reimagining Pakistan should be most part about recovery and way forward. Also industricalists and technologists should be included. There is no economy without industry. We cannot surive if we continue with this old school of manual low tech industry. We need automation, cncs and computer controlled machines. Not these hand made type inaccurate things that we make and than then beg countries to buy. We have to be competetive ..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another political writing by the guru. In the past 23 years he has not said anything different. He sounds like that woman in teen talwar making money of a sick child. Pakistan’s healthcare system is such to him. He has been working in one district of sindh since 1999. He takes every Tom Dick &#038; Harry to showcase his work. But the reality is nothing has changed anything except few jobs that his research has brought there.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This article presents a well-researched and comprehensive account of historical changes in healthcare, as well as accurately outlining the necessary steps for future progress. I would like to respectfully offer my perspective on the impact of charity organizations, including non-governmental hospitals, on public healthcare systems. While these organizations can provide visible benefits, the advancement of public healthcare systems may be hindered unless they are integrated into a more coordinated framework.

Charity organizations often play a supportive role in healthcare systems within developing countries. However, there can also be unintended adverse consequences that affect long-term progress and sustainability. Some potential drawbacks observed in Pakistan include:

Dependency: An overreliance on charity organizations can create dependency on external aid and discourage local governments from investing in and developing their own healthcare systems.

Fragmentation: Independent operations by charity organizations can lead to a fragmented healthcare system, where resources and efforts are duplicated or spread too thinly, ultimately reducing overall efficiency.

Misaligned priorities: The priorities of charity organizations may not always align with the needs of local healthcare systems, resulting in resource allocation mismatches and a focus on short-term projects rather than long-term, systemic improvements.

Undermining local governance: Charity organizations can inadvertently undermine local health bodies, regardless of their importance, by bypassing or competing with them. This can lead to weakened authority and a reduced capacity within an already struggling system.

Short-term focus: Charity organizations often operate with short-term funding cycles, which may encourage a focus on immediate, visible outcomes rather than long-term, sustainable solutions for healthcare systems.

To mitigate these potential negative effects, it is crucial for charity organizations to collaborate with local stakeholders, align their efforts with local priorities, and promote sustainable, long-term solutions that strengthen healthcare systems in developing countries.]]></description>

What is the solution? 
Women empowerment through legislation? Who is going to write and debate on that?
