NWFP Health Minister Inayatullah revealed this while talking to the authorities during visit of various tent hospitals in Batagram, Alai and Bisham on Eid days and enquiring after health of the injured there. Provincial Minister for Mineral Development Alhaj Muhammad Ayaz Khan, DG Health Dr Jalilur Rehman and other authorities of health and local administration also accompanied him on this occasion.
Health Minister said a joint workshop of Pakistani and international relief bodies was also being conducted for this purpose at Abbottabad on 9th of this month to review immediate, medium and long term plans of health department. Participation of the NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani and Federal Health Minister Naseer Muhammad Khan was also expected due to importance of the event.
Inayatullah assured the patients that doctors and officials of health department would remain on duty round the clock till their complete recovery who were assigned duties from very first day of the disastrous earthquake and even their Eid holidays have also been cancelled. He said provincial govt would continue providing relief to the affectees despite all meager available resources.

The affectees faced the tragedy with all courage and patience on one hand while entire nation rose to rescue of its brethren in trouble and their relief supplies were still going on without fail. He said celebrating Eid by majority of provincial ministers with affectees in worst hit areas was proof of the fact that the affectees were not all alone in such moments of grief but their govt and people were there to share.
