Germany builds 3 plastic surgery wards in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

[desan]

PESHAWAR – The German government is building three plastic surgery wards to treat patients who were burned in bombings and suicide attacks, officials said.


Germany has provided Rs. 210m (about US $2m) to construct the wards in Malakand, Dera Ismail Khan and Kohat divisions, Prof. Muhammad Tahir, chief of plastic surgery at Hayatabad Medical Complex, told Central Asia Online September 13.

"The wards will begin operations in one year," said Tahir, the focal person for the project.

The wards are being built in the respective district headquarters hospitals so patients can recover near their homes, he said.
"Presently, the plastic surgery facilities are concentrated solely in Peshawar, due to which the patients from other districts suffered," he said.

KPK to to build Taliban-proof prison.

A new prison in northern Pakistan will be designed to resist Taliban jailbreaks more effectively than the country's colonial-era jails, officials said.The high-security facility will be in the northwestern province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, where militants linked with al-Qaida have staged two jailbreaks in two years, an official told dpa on Friday.It will have bomb-proof walls, and improved telecommunications and surveillance equipment, said Shiraz Paracha, spokesman for the chief minister."It is going to be a prison comparable with any modern jail anywhere in the world."Most jails in Pakistan were built by the British during colonial times in the 19th or early 20th century, to hold political dissidents.Their dated infrastructure has proven an inadequate match for modern, determined militants.The Pakistani Taliban, linked to al-Qaida, freed more than three dozen associates when they blew holes in the wall and stormed a prison in a Dera Ismail Khan district of the province in July.In 2012, the militants broke several Taliban fighters out of another prison in Bannu district.Adnan Rashid, a Taliban leader on death row for masterminding an attempt on the life of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in 2003, was among the militants broken out of Bannu, and went on to orchestrate the second jailbreak."We don't want such incidents to be repeated . . . the jail we plan will be too good for militants to overrun," said Paracha.Apart from the reinforced perimeter walls, innovations will include cameras to monitor the surrounding area, and possibly remote-controlled doors within the facility.The prison will also be in a more isolated location to improve visibility of the surroundings, unlike the current ones which are often amid residences and businesses, and easier to approach undetected.Al-Qaida has reportedly set up a cell dedicated to springing members of affiliated groups from Pakistani prisons, intelligence agencies have warned.Around 4,000 members of various militant organizations are in detention in the country, most in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, according to government statistics.Criticism has also been leveled at the police capacity to guard the prisons and repel intruders, after officers put up little resistance to either of the recent attacks.Paracha said this was in part due to the multiple, simultaneous perimeter breaches, which overwhelmed the security forces, and this would be solved by the stronger walls. But he said training would also be introduced to improve guards' response.The whole project would take at least three to four years to complete, he added.The provincial government was already shifting detainees from Islamist groups to two prisons guarded by the military, the spokesman said.

News from KPK: Construction of 7 UAE-funded healthcare projects in final phases KPK and Northern Areas.

The UAE Project to Assist Pakistan (UAEPAP) has launched the final phase of its project to construct seven healthcare projects in Pakistan's Bajaur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and South Waziristan.

The seven projects are being constructed at a cost of over US$17.1 million in implementation of the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to assist Pakistan and elevate the level of healthcare sector for Pakistanis, according to the directorate of the UAEPAP.

It said that the hospital in Bajaur has been completed while the other six facilities are expected to open before the end of this year.

The said project includes four modern hospitals, two clinics and a medical institute in Pakistani remote areas which lack the basic healthcare services.

The Project noted the humanitarian vision of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for protecting the health and safety of individuals through integrated healthcare services for all, as special attention is given to old-aged people, women and children as the core of family healthcare.

Two of these four hospitals, the 100-bed Sheikh Khalifa Specialised Hospital in Saidu Sharif, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and the 50-bed Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Hospital in Shulam area of South Waziristan, are still under construction. The modern medical institute will serve two hundred male and female students. The facilities will be fully-equipped to treat patients in the poor areas.

The Sheikh Khalifa Hospital will be the first in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to receive ambulance helicopters.

The Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Hospital in Shulam features South Waziristan's first dialysis centre, first preventive medicine centre and first children's immunisation centre.

The 70-bed Bajaur hospital features a dialysis centre, an electro encephalograph ( EEG) unit, two quarantine units, two operating rooms as well as wards for chest diseases, skin diseases and emergency and outpatient clinics to serve a population of 800,000 people of the underprivileged region.

جزاک اللہ عوام کو بھت ضرورت تھی ایسے ھیلتھ سینٹرز کی کام تو ھو رھا ھے قریباٌ ایک سال کے بعد اسکے نتائج نکلنا شروع ھو جائیں گے اگر طالبان جان چھور دیں تو بھت تیز رفتاری سے ترقی کا عمل ھوگا۔ ملائشیا کی جدید ترین شکل صرف پانچ سال میں بنی تھی۔کچھ لوگ سڑک کنارے کھڑے ھوکر پروگرام کر دیتے ھیں کہ تین عام شھریوں نے کھا ھے اسلیے حکومت ناکام ھوگئ۔
