The People’s Primary Healthcare Initiative-Balochistan (PPHI-B) is another success story that we must highlight so that some positive developments in Balochistan can come to notice, both nationally and internationally. Of course, we cannot attribute the success of this project to an individual. It is the work of multiple teams, the board of directors led by eminent writer Munir Badini, and the donors that have contributed immensely.
Several stakeholders have guided the PPHI-B by their knowledge and expertise so that it can implement its mission tasks and initiatives. Primarily, it has worked to improve the quality of health services across Balochistan. Though overall the health department of the government of Balochistan is responsible for providing an enabling environment to the PPHI-B, its young CEO Aziz Jamali has worked wonders.
