3,000 Doctors Recruited, 164 Basic Health Units Revived Across Balochistan: CM Sarfraz Bugti

Independent Report
Quetta, January 24:
Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Sarfraz Bugti, has announced the completion of the recruitment process for approximately 3,000 doctors on a contract basis, leading to the activation of 164 Basic Health Units (BHUs) across the province. The initiative marks a significant step toward strengthening healthcare delivery, particularly in Balochistan’s remote and underserved regions.
In a message shared on social media platform X, the Chief Minister stated that providing basic health facilities to backward and far-flung areas of the province remains one of the top priorities of the provincial government. He said that over the past few months, a “silent but effective revolution” has been carried out in the Health Department, the positive impacts of which are now directly reaching the public.
Mir Sarfraz Bugti highlighted that the newly recruited doctors have enabled the government to revive BHUs that were previously non-functional, bringing medical services to areas where healthcare facilities were either extremely limited or completely unavailable. He said that residents of distant regions—who endure harsh winters and scorching summers—are now able to access basic medical treatment closer to their homes, calling it a major breakthrough for the common people of Balochistan.
The Chief Minister emphasized that these measures are not merely statistical achievements but represent tangible improvements in the lives of citizens. “This progress reflects real change on the ground,” he remarked, adding that access to timely and quality healthcare is a fundamental right of every citizen.
He further assured that the reform process in the Health Department will continue, and the scope of healthcare services will be expanded further to ensure that every resident of Balochistan receives quality and timely medical treatment without discrimination.
