Costly Kidney Treatment

Kidney diseases have become an outrageous problem throughout the country, particularly in Balochistan, where the number of cases is increasing rapidly. In my small town, there are over 100 patients suffering from kidney diseases, but because of the costly treatment, many are losing their lives. Furthermore, the treatment is extremely expensive and unaffordable for most people in this era of inflation.

Recently, my father and I travelled to Karachi to consult a doctor for my brother. We underwent some tests, where just one test alone cost 11,000 rupees. If a single test is so costly, how can a father possibly afford to treat his child? Facing these challenges, I request the government to take immediate action.
