In Pakistan health crisis because of cultural prohibtion of male doctors for women

Pakistan is going through a major crisis .Internally displaced people have a large number of pregnant women ,who will be delivering children in coming month.These patients are in alien environment and most of the services in the camps are provided by men.That deprives these women from getting essential care for survival in the process exasperating the existing health crisis.

Solution to most of the problems lies in US insisting in buying the needed products and services from India and bringing it to Pakistan and beyond.Better trade and humanitarian interaction can only improve the relations between these two nations which are like twins ailing from the same maladies.They can get better and stronger only by helping each other .India can very easily send several hundred female doctors and supplies to help their Pakistani Sisters in the time of need .I am surprised women's organizations of the west are not making a call and fundraising for the same.

America can and should play the role of facilitator to improve trade between India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asian countries and Iran. IT may not seem practical to improve trade with Iran but these nations have no choice but to trade with each other and cooperate for mutual progress.
Reduction of tension between the nations of south Asia will help them develop their economies . Strong democratic nations will become great American Allies. A maturing democracy can make citizens aware and capable of choosing a responsible government.Responsible nations are very interested in health and welfare of the people.

It is also very important for America to remain largest trading partner of most of the nations .It is fast loosing that status to China in many countries.
