GPAH WELFARE HOSPITAL RANJHA MAIRA
Ranjha Maira, a rural area of District Jhelum, lacks accessible and reliable medical facilities, forcing residents to travel long distances for basic healthcare services. This delay in treatment increases the risk of complications, particularly for pregnant women, children, the elderly, and emergency cases. Limited transportation, financial constraints, and low health awareness further restrict timely medical access.
The establishment of a hospital in Ranjha Maira is essential to provide primary healthcare, maternal and child
health services, emergency care, and preventive treatment within the community. A local facility would reduce preventable deaths, improve overall health outcomes, and enhance the quality of life for underserved
rural populations.
