| Message | We feel that banning private practices, as opposed to regulating them to ensure quality, is counterproductive to the provision of healthcare to the Badaran society, we are also against the outright ban of smoking, which while a controversial habit, its outright and draconian ban will only serve to bring misery The regulation of food vendors we can agree on, while its value in increasing food availability is dubious (as limiting the number of vendors would say) the quality control value can be be said sufficient to warrant such a measure. |
