This will solve their medical needs in case of emergencies and day to day medical problems at their doorsteps. The medical clinic is being run by a trained medical worker from the KALASH community. Along with medical check up, free medicines will be provided and the complicated cases will be referred to the District Headquarter Hospital in Chitral.
