LAHORE: The National Assembly may soon introduce legislation regarding pre-marital blood screening to control the spread of HIV/AIDS, Thalassemia, Hepatitis and other diseases that are transmitted through genetic abnormalities; blood transmission; and sexual relations, sources within the National Assembly said on Tuesday.

They said the government would impose stern punishment to enforce the law, which would be binding on every Pakistani couple. The punishments would range from a fine of Rs 50,000 to Rs 100,000; six months to a year’s imprisonment; or both. Parliament is also planning on adding a provision to the law to collect the medical history of all Pakistanis deported from foreign countries, especially the Middle East, upon their arrival at airports. The sources said this was necessary as many people are deported from Middle Eastern countries after being found positive for HIV, hepatitis C, etc. Such people rarely inform the government or their families of these conditions to escape stigma and can thus spread the infections, they added.

The parliamentary sources said the law would be implemented through the thousands of basic health units (BHUs) functioning throughout the country. They said the officials working in these BHUs to keep a check on people violating the law.

The Standing Committee for Health in the National Assembly is due to meet today (Wednesday) to discuss the final timetable for placement of the bill before parliament and conduct a final debate on its pros and cons. According to committee Chairman Yasmeen Rehman, they would also discuss the issue of spurious drugs; shortage of life-saving medicine; and the high prices of medicines being sold by multinational companies.

She told Daily Times the committee had already drawn up the outline and major clauses of pre-marital blood screening law. She said passage of this law would ensure the safety of future generations from several deadly diseases.

ExpressLien will be shortly expanding to other jurisdictions, but for now is only available in Louisiana.

We wanted to make it as easy and quick as possible, alot of information was required from user and a long form could have easily displeased users, so we distributed the form in several small steps.

User can fill those parts one by one and keep on going to the next pages, eventually they will get to the final screen where they will be able to pay for their selected services via Paypal.

It was really painful because complete form was supposed to be customizable, admin could login to admin panel and select which form fields are requried and which are optional. So with each field there was a query attached to see if its required or not.

Apart from that many parts of Form were dependent on user selections, like user can select to upload any number of invoice documents OR create his invoice right their on that very form. User could either provide his own Property Description OR he could ask ExpressLien.Com to search and get property description for him for a little fees ofcourse. Javascript, DHTML and CSS were used heavily to make it look perfect, excellent in usability and compact!

When a user starts filling this form a new code is generated and associated with that client.. and then on each page his form details are inserted or updated in the database. IF the user completes his order that data is automatically removed from the database otherwise it is displayed as “Incomplete Forms” on admin panel, so that admin can see if users are finding some particular field or page of form difficult to understand or fill.

After the order is submitted admins get an email that a new order has been posted, and they login to see what it requires, if its urgent or not, and if its filled correctly. They will process it and update the status as it is processed, after each status change user will get Update Email from ExpressLien so he can know that his work is in under process, that mail is defined by admins.

Every mail that system sends is also saved in database for legal reasons, so for example if a client claims that he didn’t got his lien, ExpressLien will be able to prove that they did completed their part of work and client’s lien was mailed to him.

Admin can also customize lien document for each order from an easy to use WYSIWYG editor, He can add custom text in it and then download or print it with rest of the documents or invoices that user uploaded, or if the user selected to create a custom invoice it is also included in the lien itself.
