Mashkay is a Tehsil of district Awaran with a large population. But, unfortunately, there is a lack of health facilities in the surrounding areas as no hospital where the residents treat themselves positively. Due to the absence of doctors, people are being compelled to move to Turbat or Karachi for treatment which takes a long distance. 

Sometimes they can't afford it due to poverty as well.

 On the other side, the majority of villagers are migrating to cities because of not having access to health requirements, quality education, and other important things.

            Besides, the people who are living in Mashkay, face numerous kinds of diseases chicken pox, smallpox, sore throat, and other illnesses.

And sometimes the victims lose their precious life on the way while reaching the hospital due to breaking the roads as well. 

            In 2013, a heavy earthquake hit Mashkay in which 500 hundred people died and several got injured the injured people also died on the way while going to other places for treatment. 

According to people, there is no single professional specialist doctor to take observation of the patients. 

            As a resident of Awaran, it is requested to the health department take a serious decision regarding this matter as soon as possible.
