Regional Review on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)
The latest episode of Da Semay Jaaj (Regional Review) focused on the issues faced by the people of KP and FATA with special emphasis on governance and health issues in different districts and agencies.
A report from District Charsadda mentioned the lack of basic health facilities in a Shabqadar hospital. The huge building of this hospital is marked as a category C hospital (110 beds hospital). Unfortunately due to electrical load shedding and unavailability of some specialists, there are no admitted patients. Deputy Commissioner Charsadda, Mr. Muntazir Khan, speaking in the show told that he personally visited this hospital. He agreed with the report and said that work is being done on it.
Another report was about the absence of any health facilities like hospital, basic health unit or dispensary in Union Council Jarma of District Kohat. The native village of the District Nazim is also deprived of these basic health facilities leading to difficulties for the people.
A third report highlights the objectives of a project of the KP government, Billion Tsunami Tree. Spokesman of the KP government and Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA), Mr. Shaukat Yousafzay, speaking in the show stated that this is a multipurpose project. It will increase the forest area from 21% to 25% which is an international standard. This will make the atmosphere clean and the weather is expected to become normal. This project is providing employment opportunities as well. This project will play a vital role in the future of the province.
