Sir: Like other parts of Balochistan, Turbat — the second largest city of the province — lacks healthcare facilities. As a result, diseases like hepatitis B are common among its inhabitants. People are becoming victims of the infectious disease mainly because of inadequate care in handling used syringes. The affected people should be vaccinated so that the danger of more people contracting the disease can be averted. The provincial health minister is requested to facilitate hospitals in vaccinating the people. Aqil Baba Turbat
