The Teacher.
The teacher is the backbone of all development. The P.P. Government will improve the condition of service of teachers so as to make them contented and to attract more people to join the profession.
(ii) MEDICAL SERVICES
Medical services will be increased by P.P. when in power under self-government. The P.P's plan is to encourage and assist every Saza to build a sizeable hospital to be controlled and largely maintained by the Saza Council. Many dispensaries will be built. Hospitals will be staffed with well trained doctors in sufficiently large numbers so that patients will not have to wait in the rain for days before they get attended to. At present the hospitals are so few and the doctors in them so few and so overworked that they cannot provide good services to the people. The result is that sick people have to queue up for days, often in pouring rain, before they can reach a doctor. When they do reach him he is too tired to give the patients the attention he would like to give them, consequently the treatment is not very satisfying. Under Self-government, the P.P. Governmnt will stop all this. Dispensaries will be well staffed with qualified dressers and nurses and visited regularly by doctors. The pressure, therefore, on hospitals will decrease. This coupled with an increased number of doctors, will completely wipe out any unnecessary queueing up and give every patient prompt and efficient attention.
In addition to the above there will be mothers' and children's clinics where mothers and children will be treated without having to travel long distances to reach hospitals or doctors.
