DASHT in Balochistan needs a government hospital. It has about 45,000 inhabitants but there are no health facilities for them.

After visiting Dasht and meeting local people, I came to know that their lives were full of difficulties and hardships. A poor woman told me they had to visit Turbat for treatment. Those who could not afford to travel had to survive without doctors and medicines.

The authorities concerned should realise their responsibilities and build a hospital in Dasht.
