Divisional Health Development Centre (DHDC) Chitral is one of PHSA's four functional DHDCs, serving Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's northernmost district.

Along with the province's other Divisional Health Development Centres, it originated under the World Bank-funded Family Health Project of the 1990s and was brought under PHSA's full administrative and financial oversight once that project concluded in December 1999.

Given Chitral's remote and mountainous terrain, the Centre plays an important role in bringing in-service training, continuing education, and management capacity-building closer to Health Department staff who would otherwise have to travel to Peshawar for such courses.
