Are we the “Catalyst” to accomplish pragmatic solutions against challenges in Pakistani Healthcare?

Abstract

The healthcare system in Pakistan faces several challenges, namely due to incompetence and a lack of provider responsiveness to the needs of consumers. Two parallel systems exist in the healthcare system of Pakistan. One consists of public hospitals that remained short, even, of basic healthcare facilities, and the other consists of private hospitals that are too costly for the people of Pakistan to afford. Solutions to the stumbling and compromised healthcare system of Pakistan are adequate financial support and infrastructure development. A dire need to invest in the healthcare system is required; otherwise, the healthcare system in Pakistan will continue fighting for its survival rather than improving and competing with the healthcare systems of other nations in the region. The overall data quoted here demonstrates that up-scaling of initiatives in the country would require lot of cautions to be taken by the government.
