ISLAMABAD: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) collaborates with the Pakistani government at the federal, provincial, and district levels to improve the lives of citizens in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, with a focus on newly merged districts, by expanding governance, improving service delivery, and expanding economic opportunities.
According to a statement issued on Saturday, the Burns and Trauma Center in Peshawar and the Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Energy (UET Peshawar) are members of this relationship and a perfect example of this engagement.
The Burns and Trauma Center was founded in 2019 and has been delivering excellent services to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ever since.
As project partners with the government of Pakistan, the United States government donated $15 million through a USAID grant to acquire equipment and finish the facility.
Previously, burn sufferers had to travel vast distances to receive care in other regions of Pakistan. The Burns and Trauma Centre guarantees that burn sufferers receive high-quality care near their homes.
Aside from burn sufferers, the hospital also offers trauma care and plastic surgery. Its 120 beds can house 10,000 patients every year.
The facility covers the whole state of KP, including the recently combined territories (previously known as the Federally Administered Tribal Districts or FATA) and other bordering areas with Afghanistan.
The United States-Pakistan Centre for Advanced Studies in Energy is also located in Peshawar (USPCAS-E). The US has spent $127 million in the center to identify creative and practical solutions to Pakistan’s difficulties in energy, water, agriculture, and food security. The University of Engineering and Technology (UET) in Peshawar has collaborated with Arizona State University to establish a center for energy research as part of this program.
Curriculum development, research, the building of new laboratories, and exchange programs are among the aims of this collaboration.
This center aims to create new standards for assisting women and underprivileged youngsters in achieving success in the engineering profession. The Center for Advanced Studies in Energy at UET-Peshawar offers Masters and Doctoral degrees in a variety of fields.
To date, over 250 Energy Engineers and Managers have graduated from USPCAS-E, with a thorough grasp of indigenous energy concerns and solutions.
USPS-E has constructed cutting-edge facilities and has begun evaluating commercial products. KP Chief Minister established USPCAS-E as a think tank and focal point for all KP energy challenges. This year celebrates the 75th anniversary of the United States’ excellent connection with Pakistan.
