Punjab unit of the IMA has urged the government to declare health as concurrent subject by Constitution like education to achieve universal health coverage. This was stated by state unit president of IMA Dr SP S Sooch today.

He said the primary health care services, including consultation , diagnostic facilities and emergency life savings drugs should be available free of cost to all the citizens. Sooch said to achieve this target more and more paramedical staff trainings school should be made available.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
