The money that these workers are getting is pathetic, they are probably putting money from their own pockets to do this extremely important job.Their position is worst then that of slaves, the government should be ashamed of themselves,besides they have to quietly bare the insults that are hurled at them and threats to life is always there,.Dr Samina Hashmi should do something about their salary and Shahnaz Wazir Ali should accompany them instead of sitting in the comforts of her office and see what these hardworking and devoted workers have to go through. What a sorry state of affairs.

Need to educate the general public through mosques. We should take lessons from Bangladesh where Moulvis played an important part in population planning.

Remember, this is Pakistan, where nothing is normal. Ignorence is not just a crime, but a sin too. And to top every thing else, we have a very male chauvinist society. I salute to those women, who despite all these hindrance and drawbacks, still doing an impossible job. Aqil Siddiqi. (BC, Canada)

I hope the Americans are proud of themselves. Because of their misadventure in hiring of Dr. Afridi to track down Osama bin Laden, they may have succeeded in getting Osama, but they are also responsible for the lingering fear in the minds of many Pashtuns that all polio vaccination campaigns are sponsored by CIA. The blood of these innocent lady health workers is on American Hands.
I hope the noble professions like doctors, nurses, teachers etc. are spared in the nefarious game of spycraft next time you decide to go after a terrorist. You may have killed the world’s most wanted terrorist, but have also heavily contributed to the deaths of the innocent health workers.

So what the heck was Sindh government doing, showing us of with their VIP protocols and long security detail. No wonder Karachi has become what it is, at times comparable to North and South Waziristan. Our fault, we have an inept Sindhi provincial government which only cares for its own security and the appeasement of establishment.

Refresher training in tackling refusals!
They should receive “salary plus commission”, because they must be sales people too.
