Sehat Kahani - Story of Health

A decade-long militant insurgency; many military operations in the northwest and natural disasters have displaced 5.3 millions of people from their homes in Pakistan. Mass exodus due to conflicts and insecurity have made it impossible for the displaced persons to attain basic health care. While on the other hand; 77% of the female doctors discontinue medical practice once they get married. Hence, health services, though available in the area, are already overstretched before the IDPs’ arrival.
