A joint initiative of AKHSP Chitral and AKRSP Chitral. CHITRAL: A one-orientation workshop on Community Based Saving, low female literacy, cultural practices favoring childbirth at home, womens limited mobility outside of the home, and the difficulty of accessing health facilities, often located in remote and isolated valleys and operating in harsh and inhospitable climates. In Chitral, like many other rural districts of Pakistan, these issues are interlinked and must be addressed through a holistic approach.

As currently 30 community mid wives (CMWS) are going through a rigorous training process, selected by AKHSP Chitral from those areas where no government or AKHPs services health services or facilities are available. These CBSGs have to be in place before the trained Community mid wives (CMWs) are trained and deployed in their respective villa, then a detailed presentation was given on CCSP from the AKHSP, Chitral by Miraj Manager MER AKHSP Chitral accompanied by Ms. Aisah Maab Program Coordinator CCSP.
