The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has taken a significant step towards improving child healthcare by announcing plans to set up Pediatric Emergency and Telemedicine Centers across the province. The primary goal of this initiative is to reduce the infant mortality rate by providing specialized healthcare services for children.

During a meeting led by Provincial Health Minister Syed Qasim Ali Shah, it was decided to establish these centers at key hospitals including Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar, Hayatabad Medical Complex, DI Khan, Abbottabad, and Swat. These centers will offer free specialized healthcare services for children, aiming to eliminate the need for referrals to Peshawar by ensuring each region has its own Pediatric Emergency Center.

The establishment of Pediatric Emergency and Telemedicine Centers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa marks a crucial development in child healthcare services. With a focus on reducing infant mortality rates and enhancing healthcare accessibility through technology, this initiative is set to positively impact the lives of children in the region.
