Pakistan can deliver better public health care. The success of Covid-19 containment efforts has shown the power of political will and collective actions. In this day and age, it is unconscionable to let the size of someone’s paycheck decide whether a curable disease will be fatal.
It can’t really be an accident that Pakistan did better than most in handling the pandemic. From swiftly establishing the National Command and Control Centre, to leveraging multiple platforms for public awareness, the government even initiated a huge vaccination programme across the country surprising self and others. This was all accomplished from within our crumbling health infrastructure.
