Health

The PNPC, in coordination with its Provincial and District Health Department counterparts, has implemented a comprehensive Health Program with the objective of improving the health of the Project Affected People through:

• Construction of a new Health Centre
• Provisions of equipment and medicines for the Health Centre
• Conduct of monthly Integrated Mother and Child Health Care Services
• Promotion of hand-washing and proper sanitation
• Providing special medical assistance for vulnerable persons
• Conduct of capacity building for health care workers and Village Health Volunteers
• Conduct of health education for villagers on STIs, malaria, dengue, Covid-19, sanitation, nutrition, etc.
• Upgrading water supply facilities with regular water quality monitoring
• Conduct of periodic medical check-ups, vaccination and immunization
• Conduct of training/s for Traditional Birth Attendants

The Health Program was subjected to regular inspections and reviews by the Health Impact Assessment Team of the Ministry of Health to ensure compliance with GOL policy and the health management plan.

In full compliance with the Concession Agreement obligations, the Health Program was successfully handed over to the GOL though the PNPC still continues to support and conduct periodic medical check-up for the health of the Resettlers.
