Abstract
This study examines the issues and inequities in Pakistan’s healthcare system using perspectives of structure, problems, and inadequacy in contrast to developed as well as developing countries. Lack of physical infrastructures, human power, and a weak health system compounded with weak governance structures in Pakistan pushed the country into this position across the healthcare index. Analyzing Pakistan in relation to other countries emphasize on excess and outdated medical technology, minimum and decreasing health care investment, lack of preventive care and health education which turns into a lens to compare with developed countries. In order to complement these gaps, an analysis technique known as Thematic Analysis was used and includes variables like patient satisfaction, Healthcare accessibility, Technological adoption and Healthcare funding. By using thematic analysis, noticeable connections were revealed with the meaning that hospital capacity, financial points, and investments in healthcare technologies and human resources are critical for enhancing the quality and readiness to respond to the healthcare crises. Moreover, interview experiences of professional healthcare, patient participants, and financial experts provide the understanding that the system relies on the external funding source, lacks proper integration with technology, and has no accountability. The findings drawn from it are associated with the four essential directions of the reform, including increasing the hospital’s capacity, ensuring financial stability, implementing updated technologies, and raising people’s awareness. Benchmarking Pakistan’s healthcare system against the developed countries and identifying the strategies to achieve working public-private partnership, enhance the healthcare funding, and to adopt and set the effective use of the advanced technology such as the telemedicine in the Pakistan. It provides comprehensive policies on the healthcare improvement in Pakistan, in addition to arguing for the importance of investing in a strong healthcare system as a means to bolster the economy and increase the population’s standards of health.
