Pakistan is witnessing, serious humanitarian crises and discrimination in its healthcare sector as the poor and needy population remains deprived of medical assistance and care. This makes human sufferings prominent in the country.

Therefore, the humanitarian organizations have come forward to fill the void in our healthcare system, and are working with their sacred mission to safeguard human lives from all sorts of ignorance and discrimination.

Humanitarian organizations give high priority to human lives, and try to provide fast relief by providing free medical and surgical care to poor patients.

Pakistan’s healthcare sector needs a major reformation, because it is crippled and unfit to deliver the healthcare needs of 200 million Pakistanis.

According to JPMS, an online Journal led by Pakistani medical students, the existing healthcare infrastructure is actually impressive which consists of 5,349 Basic Health Units (BHU), 562 Rural Health Centers (RHCs), 4755 dispensaries, and 945 hospitals, 903 maternal child health centers (MCHs) and 290 TB Centers across the country. It is however surprising those poor patients do not receive proper healthcare or medication on time, because these infrastructures are of no use as they are not backed by functional and useful resources.

Again the Pakistani healthcare is encountering a lack of specialists and female physicians crippling the medical services for the public badly.

According to PMDC statistics, there are 135,923 registered general physicians in Pakistan; 46% are females, and 29,487 specialists, with 73% being males. In dentistry, there are 12,782 dentists, with 38% being males, and 1,077 specialists comprising 72% males. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 1 doctor for 1,000 populations. In Pakistan, the average ratio is 8.1 physicians per 10,000 people.

All these existing issues in our health care system need time to get fixed permanently, but till then we should think of alternative ways to help the poor patients so that they can get relief from sickness and pain.

Meantime, we need to rely on Humanitarian organizations that are committed to prevent and alleviate the sufferings of the poor patients at the time of emergencies. Humanitarian organizations work to protect life and health and assure respect for every individual.

Humanitarian organizations show greater humanitarian concerns for everyone and act in greater compassion to prevent premature deaths. They ensure treatments and surgeries for poor men, women and children for free of cost, to relieve their agony and discomfort and enable them to live their lives in a holistic manner.
