FM LISTENING: Medical showcase on FM 100

A little awareness and guidance can do a lot. That is what I concluded last Friday after listening to a health programme on FM 100 Pakistan. Dr Samina Johar from the Chinese Expert Hospital was the guest in the programme, and she discussed Pyle and Hepatitis, the most common and hazardous diseases. The information she imparted about the diseases was useful and thought provoking.
