To enhance Primary Healthcare Services (PHS) in specific districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the Human Capital Investment Project (HCIP) of the provincial health department organized a one-day workshop on Wednesday at a local hotel in Peshawar.

The primary focus of the workshop was to assess the needs of stakeholders for the development of training modules, with the primary goal of improving the availability, utilization, and quality of healthcare services. The workshop sought to gather crucial information about existing training manuals or modules, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, aligning them with on-ground needs, and identifying potential improvements in a clear and concise manner.
