Purpose:
To launch a nationwide, inclusive campaign that ensures universal access to quality, affordable, and equitable healthcare for every Pakistani — regardless of income, location, or gender — through systemic reform, public-private collaboration, and grassroots mobilization.
Vision:
A healthy and dignified Pakistan where every citizen, from urban centers to remote villages, receives timely, effective, and respectful healthcare — not as a privilege, but as a constitutional and human right.
Current Health Challenges in Pakistan:
- Low Health Investment: Public health expenditure remains below 2% of GDP
- Inequitable Access: Vast disparities between urban and rural healthcare access, especially in Balochistan, South Punjab, and KP
- Overburdened Public Sector: Shortages of doctors, nurses, medicines, and diagnostics in public hospitals
- Unregulated Private Sector: High costs, variable quality, and lack of standardized oversight
- Double Disease Burden: Rising non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and heart disease alongside infectious diseases
- Weak Preventive Care: Minimal investment in health education, nutrition, and primary care
- Lack of Health Insurance: Majority of the population pays out of pocket, pushing families into poverty
Campaign Objectives:
- Access: Expand reach of primary, secondary, and tertiary care across all provinces
- Affordability: Advocate for nationwide universal health coverage through programs like Sehat Sahulat Card and health insurance schemes
- Quality: Improve standards of care, patient safety, and health worker training
- Equity: Focus on underserved regions and vulnerable populations (women, children, elderly, and disabled)
- Public-Private Synergy: Engage private hospitals, pharma, diagnostics, and health tech to contribute meaningfully
- Preventive Health: Promote awareness on hygiene, nutrition, mental health, and lifestyle diseases
Key Stakeholders:
