HEALTH SYSTEM OF PAKISTAN
Pakistan has a mixed health system that includes public, parastatal, private, civil society,
philanthropic contributors, and donor agencies. In Pakistan, healthcare delivery to consumers
is systematized through four modes of preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative
services. The private sector attends to 70% of the population through a diverse group of
trained health team members traditional faith healers 
There is little strength in the health care delivery system in Pakistan in making health
policies, participating in the Millennium Development Goals program, initiating vertical
programs and introducing Public Private Partnerships, and improving human resource
development and infrastructure by making Basic Health Units and Rural Health Centres.
However, these all programs are very limited in its scope and that is the reason that Pakistan's
healthcare system is still not very efficient. There are numerous weaknesses like poor
governance, lack of access and unequal resources, poor quality of Health Information
Management System, corruption in the health system, lack of monitoring in health policy and
health planning, and lack of trained staff.
