CHITRAL: A midwifery school was opened at District Health Development Center Denin under the auspices of Maternity Newborn Child Health (MNCH) program NWFP on Wednesday.
Provincial Minister for Population Welfare Saleem Khan was chief guest on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Saleem Khan said thE school would be a milestone in decreasing mortality rate in Chitral because majority of pregnant women died during delivery due to unavailability of basic facilities and trained staff.
He said Chief Minister NWFP had specially approved setting up of a Nursing School in Chitral which will be launched next year. He said that there is acute shortage of female technicians and NWFP government was trying its best to recruit more staff to settle this issue. --GH Farooqui
