Tharparkar, 17 October 2023 (TDI): Dr. Mahipala, the World Health Organization representative in Pakistan, played a pivotal role in inaugurating a Nutrition Stabilization Center in THQ Diplo, Tharparkar, with crucial backing from WHO.

This center serves as a beacon of hope for addressing malnutrition-related challenges in the region. WHO’s support extends beyond the mere inauguration, as they have diligently provided the essential elements required for its operation.

This includes an experienced support staff, cutting-edge equipment, and a steady supply of essential resources.

What’s truly commendable is WHO’s unwavering commitment to scaling up their response to malnutrition issues in the Sindh region.

They are actively engaged in supporting a total of 47 Nutrition Stabilization Centers across Sindh, a significant number of which were newly established during the response to floods in the area.
