Nagaland's Pessao PHC Upgrade Project Ends Without Facility Completion
The five-year MoU signed in 2021 between The Hans Foundation, Pessao Village Council, and Nagaland's Health Department to upgrade Pessao Primary Health Centre (PHC) expired without the promised facility becoming operational. The project aimed to transform the PHC into a 24x7 center serving multiple villages, including infrastructure and staffing improvements. However, construction stalled, with exposed rusting iron rods and no replacement building, leaving villagers reliant on makeshift healthcare setups and raising concerns about the project's future and state government takeover plans.
