Dr. Palitha Mahipala World Health Organization (WHO) representative in Pakistan, along with his team, visited BRSP head office in Quetta. Mr. Siraj ul Haque Ghouri- General Manager Social Sector Services gave a comprehensive presentation on all of BRSP’s interventions in general and health sector interventions in particular. Dr. Palitha remarked “Owing to BRSP’s huge geographical footprint in 27 districts of Balochistan, WHO would like to work closely with BRSP in the near future to reach out to the far flung rural communities of Balochistan”. Dr. Palitha also emphasized on the importance of all partners working closely together to improve the poor health indicators of Balochistan. Dr. Palitha also stressed on the importance of research backed health interventions to tackle the unique challenges faced by Balochistan for instance, the 28% renal failure rate in Killa Saifullah for which BRSP is constructing a Kidney Dialysis Center with the financial funding of PATRIP Foundation (a German donor)
