National Workshop
In April 2006, 4 Peace of Mind organised a national workshop
at the Sangam Hotel, Muzaffarabad. The focus of the workshop was
health needs of the affected communities.
The workshop was developed in collaboration with
the International Human Rights Observer (Pakistan) and attended by
national and international NGOs.
Mr Riaz Ahmed Khan (UN, National Programme
Manager) addressed the delegates and facilitated sessions. We were
also honoured by two ministers who made themselves available for a Q
& A session at the end.
The key recommendations from the workshop were as follows:
-
Set up health
expertise in each Union Council
-
There is a need to
establish basic health infrastructure in each Union Council
-
There is a need to
mobilise the local population to sustain delivery of health
-
Training of
healthcare professionals is required
-
There is a need to
provide basic psychological relief and support
