Jiwani Tehsil Hospital Records First Successful Normal Delivery in Gwadar

GWADAR: In line with the vision of Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfraz Bugti and the Balochistan government’s public health policy, efforts are underway to provide quality medical facilities in remote areas and to make health centres functional.

As part of this effort, the first successful normal delivery has been completed at the Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Tehsil Headquarters Hospital in Jiwani tehsil of Gwadar district. It is being described as an important step towards improving maternal and child health services in the area.

Hospital team’s performance

Deputy District Health Officer Dr Idris Baloch said the Lady Health Visitor (LHV) and the hospital’s medical team showed professional skill, responsibility and dedication in carrying out the successful normal delivery.

District Health Officer Gwadar Dr Yasir Tahir praised the hospital staff and the LHV for their performance, congratulated the entire team, and said that the hard work and professional abilities of the medical staff are improving the delivery of health services to the public at the local level.

Facilities for local residents

It may be recalled that the efforts of Provincial Assembly member Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman Baloch and the continuous supervision and hard work of DHO Gwadar Dr Yasir Tahir have played a key role in making the hospital functional and bringing medical services to people’s doorsteps. As a result of these joint efforts, the hospital’s functionality is improving, and residents are now able to get treatment in their own area rather than travelling to distant places.

The first successful normal delivery in Jiwani reflects the improvement of the local health system and also paves the way for further strengthening maternal and child health services in the area.
