Health Facilities in Altit
As Altit village is in proximity of Karimabad and
Aliabad town therefore people availed the facilities available in
these villages. Presently the village is facing great problems due
to unavailability of hospitals and health centers. The women due to
lack of maternity home in the village were facing great difficulties
for delivery and other health problems. For this purpose they have
to go to Karimabad or Aliabad towns at about 4 to 8 kilometers. The
distance from health care facilities compounded by lack of
transport, were leading to lower health service and delayed
diagnosis and intervention, with lower levels of attendance for
subsequent treatment.
