WHO establishes new council to improve health system in Pakistan
The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a new council to improve the health sector and achieve sustainable development goals. The primary objective of this initiative is to promote cooperation between the public and private sectors so that health facilities can be better delivered to ordinary citizens.
For developing countries like Pakistan, this council is of utmost importance. Its goal is to strengthen the health system at the national level so that the process of disease prevention and treatment can be accelerated. Experts believe that the collaboration between the private and public sectors will prove helpful in dealing with the challenges faced by the health sector.
Through this council, the pace of work on health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be increased. It will bring together the government, private institutions, and health experts on one platform to ensure the proper utilization of resources. This will not only improve the quality of medical facilities but will also provide the public with access to affordable and quality medicines and treatment.
According to WHO officials, this partnership will ensure the provision of basic health facilities even in remote areas of Pakistan. This is a long-term project aimed at bringing the country's public health standards in line with global standards.
With this new development, it is expected that there will be significant improvements in Pakistan's healthcare system in the coming times. This joint journey of the government and the private sector could prove to be the beginning of a new era in the health sector, from which the ordinary Pakistani citizen will directly benefit.
