system consisting of people, and organizations that primarily work to restore,
maintain and promote health. A well-developed, efficient and advanced
healthcare system is incumbent to improve the health of people and prevent the
spread of diseases and it is one of the primary concerns of states. Pakistan
has a three-tier healthcare system consisting of hospitals, dispensaries, and
rural health centers. Since its inception, many governments have tried to
improve the situation in Pakistan. Although our system improves over time. The
progress of the health sector in Pakistan could not be ignored since the time
of independence. Moreover, it has achieved improvement in the social sector, agricultural sector, economic sector, and Industrial sector. Pakistan's health care
system is in progress and since last year, Pakistan has tried to make many
improvements in its health care delivery system and has brought out many
