50% rural population of Faisalabad have Hepatitis C [badal ke rakh dia Punjab]

What a part of my previous reply did you not understand? The problems you have mentioned are communal/environmental problems and not Political. The change has to be brought from with in the society. The Overall culture has to change.

Do you really expect a one month old Govt. to clean up all the rivers and to teach people how to improve their sanitation habits , how not to get HIV and Hepatitus OOOOOOO Man Give us a break and please do not overdo it and make a fool of yourself.
Chapter closed! THIS IS NOT A POLITCAL ISSUE!

You need to educate yourself by researching on the Internet rather than posting ridiculous things and making a fool out of yourself, as you clearly don't understand the ABC of the responsibilities of the Government. Writing in large red fonts and name calling is not going to make you more educated.

Furthermore, PMLN's Government is not 1 month old in Punjab, it is YEARS old and they have ruled Punjab more than any one else. Also, awareness campaigns and health issues are part of the responsibilities of the Government and the vision of a Government is provided by a POLITICAL PARTY, also known as MANIFESTO.

If health issues are communal and social, then why the hell is the Government making Hospitals? Why are they running Polio campaigns? Why do they have Ministry of Environment? And above all, why are you such an idiot?

[h=1]Environmental Pollution Increases Risk Of Liver Disease, Study Finds[/h] June 1, 2009 — A new study is the first to show that there is a previously unrecognized role for environmental pollution in liver disease in the general U.S. adult population. This work builds upon the groups' previous research demonstrating liver disease in highly-exposed chemical workers. The study is being presented during Digestive Disease Week[SUP][/SUP] 2009 (DDW[SUP][/SUP]), the largest international gathering of physicians and researchers in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery.

"Our study found that greater than one in three U.S. adults had liver disease, even after excluding those with traditional risk factors such as alcoholism and viral hepatitis," said Matthew Cave, MD, assistant professor, department of medicine, division of gastroenterology and hepatology at the University of Louisville. "Our study shows that some of these cases may be attributable to environmental pollution, even after adjusting for obesity, which is another major risk factor for liver disease."
Using the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), researchers from the University of Louisville study examined chronic low-level exposure to 111 common pollutants including lead, mercury, PCBs and pesticides and their association with otherwise unexplained liver disease in adults. The specific pollutants included were detectable in 60 percent or more of the 4,500 study subjects.
Dr. Cave added that this analysis used only the ALT liver enzyme as a marker of liver injury, and cautioned that this associative study does not prove causality. However, he added that previous animal studies do suggest causality for many of these chemicals. Dr. Cave and his co-authors also plan to examine the additive effects of environmental pollutants on liver disease in children and adults with risk factors including obesity, viral hepatitis, and alcoholism in the NHANES population.
Dr. Cave will present these data, Chronic Low-Level Exposure to Toxicants Linked to Liver Disease in U.S. Adults (Abstract #289), on Monday, June 1 at 8:30 a.m. CDT in S105, McCormick Place
