| Health Statistics:
Health Facilities
Health facilities are divided into three categories: The First Level Care Facilities (FLCF) Secondary Level Care Facilities (SLCF) and Tertiary Level Care Facilities (TLCF). The FLCF provide preventive, promotive and curative health services, whereas SLCF facilities are located in the main towns and TLCF are in the major cities of the province. The primary health care facilities are further classified into Civil Dispensaries (CDs), Basic Health Units (BHUs) and Rural Health Centers. Basic Health Units cater for a population of 8,000 to 10,000 and RHC for 50,000 to 100,000 populations. RHC is the lowest level of health facility that has a laboratory for performing routine investigation. Some RHCs are equipped with X-Ray machines. |
