Government begins review of governance roadmap

The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has initiated a series of meetings to review its "Governance Roadmap." As part of this initiative, two separate meetings were held concerning the health and industry departments, chaired by Chief Secretary Shahab Ali Shah.

The meeting focused on the strategy prepared for the Health Department, which aims to strengthen basic healthcare services, modernize secondary hospitals, and enhance the capacity of the workforce to provide better emergency and specialized treatment facilities to the public.

The meeting also reviewed goals related to further strengthening the health sector through digitization and policy reforms.

The roadmap for the Industry Department was also reviewed, with objectives including the digitization of industrial zones, removal of obstacles to the establishment of industrial estates, facilitation of ease in doing business, promotion of small industries to boost economic activity, and enhancing the capacity of the Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) to create more employment opportunities for youth.

Addressing the meeting, Chief Secretary urged the concerned departments to ensure effective monitoring to complete the progress outlined in the roadmap and action plan within the given timeframe.

He instructed that field and operational staff should also be informed about these goals to achieve effective outcomes through their active participation.

Secretaries and senior officials from both departments attended the meeting, and the upcoming provincial budget and departmental targets for the next fiscal year were also reviewed.
