Poor Health Services
Public resources allocated for health sector in general and mother,newborn,and child health (MNCH) in particular are not only woefully low but are often spent in a manner that disproportionately benefits the rich relative to the poor.This feature of healthcare finance in Pakistan puts many households ,especially those belonging to marginalized groups, into a vulnerable situation.A study in the area of MNCH has highlighted that the public spending on health as percentage of GDP has never exceeded 0.7 per cent and this proportion has been dwindling over time.There is a related health video..
