Most victims of natural disasters are the poor, and particularly women. The recent floods in Pakistan have shown that the country is no exception. Disasters such as this are worse for women, girls, and women with disabilities. They face the biggest challenges including access to humanitarian assistance. Furthermore, the needs and vulnerabilities of women and girls are often distinct during disasters.

We at .pk are trying for scaling services include temporary women’s centres, and services for the prevention of and response to gender-based violence (GBV), with a focus on psychosocial support to GBV survivors through our work and interactions with women in areas near by flood affected populations who are lady healthworkers and can support other women with basic medical needs, mental health support and physical support to manage in this disaster.

Healthcare in Pakistan

Healthcare in Pakistan is a dissonant riddle with limitations and rebuttals. The problem is deep rooted with inaccessibility of basic healthcare services in rural areas, apathetic behaviors and brain drained doctors, unmet needs of medical graduates in terms of facilities and security provided to doctors, more and more medical graduates moving out of the country and the list goes on when highlighting the problems. The stark fact remains the same that is SUFFERING, suffering of weak and strong, unsatisfactory lives and improper mental health.

Health system faces challenges of vertical service delivery structures and low performance accountability within the government, creating efficiency and quality issues. Although having the potential, private sector contributes least towards preventive health services. The public sector is inadequately staffed and job satisfaction and work environment needs improvement. The overall health sector also faces an imbalance in the number, skill mix and deployment of health workforce, and inadequate resource allocation across different levels of health care i.e. primary, secondary and tertiary. In order to produce quality workforce for health sector, the quality of medical and allied education both in public and private sector needs to be looked into.
