Health Clinic in Shakardarah
Political instability and recent restrictions on women have worsened public health gaps.
Most rural families rely on agriculture and cannot afford private health services.
This clinic could transform healthcare access for thousands in the area.
Why the Health Clinic Matters...
-
Lack of Access: Hosayn Kot and the surrounding villages currently have no government or private clinics.
-
Health as a Priority: Locals state health services are needed even more than food for their families.
-
Geographic Isolation: Residents walk several kilometers to reach basic care, leading to high rural death rates.
