He said that under the Health Care Improvement Project (HCIP), 195 primary healthcare centers will be shifted to solar systems within the next six months.

He mentioned that a total of 3.3 billion rupees have been spent under this project to improve primary healthcare in Peshawar, Nowshera, Swabi, and Haripur.
As many as 800 million rupees were spent under this project to provide free treatment to the public at Nishtarabad Hospital in Peshawar.
Furthermore, 870 million rupees were spent to deploy security and sanitation staff at BHUs and RHCs under HCIP, which has improved cleanliness and resolved security issues.
