Alhamdulillah!
Salik Development Foundation - SDF has successfully completed the Restoration/Retrofitting of the Medical Officer Block at BHU Baja, UC Bariyar, Tehsil Dassu, District Upper Kohistan under the Restoring Social Services & Climate Resilience (RSS&CR) Project funded by Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund.

BHU Baja — the only functional health facility serving over 36,000 people — will now have a female doctor, as the DHO Upper Kohistan has committed to her posting after completion of the new accommodation.

Despite the site’s challenging access (a two-hour hike from the road), SDF completed major works including full flooring, boundary wall, roof and latrine repairs, new doors/windows, solar installation, electrification, painting, and a plantation drive.

We sincerely thank PPAF for their continuous support in improving healthcare access for the people of Upper Kohistan.
