Dear Ed,

In today’s (9 January) issue of Us, I was delighted to see Muhammad Ali Clay featured in the ‘Ground Reality’ segment. Ed, there has never been a boxer like Ali in the history of the sport, and I believe there never will be. He was not only ‘the Black Superman’, he was the Superman. In addition to his unmatched skill in the ring, Ali used his fame to speak out against injustice, refused to compromise his principles, and inspired millions across the world. He is a true global icon.

My thanks to Yumna Zahid Ali for a brilliant and well-written piece.

Hello Editor,

I loved this week’s issue! ‘POV: From London to Karachi’ by Aniyah Naqvi offered an insightful perspective on Pakistanis who return from Western countries to settle here. I can deeply empathise with the writer regarding the issue of staring. Even though I have lived my entire life in Karachi, I still feel uncomfortable stepping out in jeans and a shirt in public places. It feels different in malls, though, where many young women wear dresses, jeans and shirts without being made to feel uncomfortable.

I strongly believe that mothers should train their children to respect women and teach them that staring is rude and unacceptable.

Dear Editor,

Balochistan is currently facing a critical shortage of thalassaemia specialists and dedicated treatment centres. Thalassaemia is highly prevalent across the province and affects countless families.

The treatment of this condition requires patients to undergo regular blood transfusions every two to four weeks, along with continuous medication and medical monitoring. The combined cost of transfusions, essential medicines and necessary laboratory tests is unbearable for the average citizen, especially in this era of high inflation.

At present, patients from Turbat and other parts of the province are forced to travel to other provinces to access basic treatment. This places a severe financial, physical and emotional burden on patients and their families.

We request the concerned authorities to establish specialised thalassaemia care centres, and to recruit qualified medical specialists within Balochistan, so that patients may receive timely and affordable treatment closer to home.
