Gilgit-Baltistan government and UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) has signed a significant partnership to establish essential healthcare facilities in the region. In a landmark agreement, valued at five million dollars, (One Billion forty three crores rupees) UNICEF will support the expansion of health-related infrastructure in 120 schools across Gilgit-Baltistan.
This groundbreaking collaboration reflects the shared commitment of UNICEF and the Gilgit-Baltistan government to enhance the health and well-being of children and mothers in the region.
