In Pakistan’s Kahuta District, a hospital built through China-Pakistan cooperation is rewriting survival stories for malaria patients – and shop owner Sheikh Noman Munir is living proof. 🌍❤️
For years, locals faced life-threatening delays reaching hospitals in big cities. But since the China-Pakistan Karot hydropower project (a Belt and Road Initiative milestone) helped build the THQ Hospital, treatment is now a bike ride away. 🚲🏥
Noman’s malaria diagnosis could have been tragic, but quick care at THQ saved him. “It brought my wife and me closer,” he says, adding that the hospital’s arrival “lit up our future like the [Karot] power plant lights our homes.” 💡✨
The project isn’t just about energy – it’s a lifeline. With 1,200+ malaria cases treated annually at THQ, Kahuta residents now chase dreams instead of ambulances. 🤝
📺 Catch this uplifting story in the Rising with Pride docu-series, co-produced by Chinese and Pakistani filmmakers and airing soon on Pakistan Television.
