DHQ, Chitral

Published March 16, 2017

THIS refers to poor health facilities at the district headquarters hospital, Chitral. Since 2007 dialysis machines have been there but they are useless because they have not been installed as yet.

Kidney patients of the area have to go to other cities such as Peshawar and Lahore for dialysis and are facing difficulties.

The dialysis machines should be installed immediately so that the people can treat their loved ones in their own city.
