Summary

Healthcare in Pakistan is still in the early stages of development. Widespread poverty and a weak health system underlie the poor health status of the population. Government funding continues to be minimal, equal to around 3% of GDP and achieves little more than maintaining the status quo, while the problems of poor nutrition and sanitation are compounded by Pakistan's large and fast growing population. However as the economy improves, the level of spending may well begin to rise. Other issues at the heart of the problem include the continuing prevalence of communicable diseases, low health manpower levels and the under utilisation of primary health facilities.
