What are healthcare services like in Pakistan?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Pakistan. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in Pakistan vary greatly depending on the region. In urban areas, there are a variety of private and public hospitals and clinics that provide a range of services, including primary care, specialist care, and emergency services. In rural areas, access to healthcare is more limited, with fewer hospitals and clinics and fewer medical professionals. The government has taken steps to improve access to healthcare in rural areas, including providing free healthcare to those living below the poverty line. Additionally, the government has implemented a number of initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare services, such as increasing the number of medical professionals and providing training and resources to healthcare providers," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Pakistan.
