General Healthcare State in Balochistan

-


1) The current state of healthcare in Balochistan


The current state of healthcare in Balochistan is abysmal. The province has the lowest number of hospitals per capita in Pakistan and the second lowest number of health workers per capita. In addition, the quality of care is poor, with a high rate of neonatal and maternal mortality. The Balochistan government has been slow to respond to the healthcare crisis in the province. In 2016, the provincial government allocated just 2.5% of its budget to healthcare, which is far below the World Health Organization’s recommendations of 5-7%. As a result, the majority of healthcare facilities in Balochistan are underfunded and lack basic amenities.

The lack of investment in healthcare has had a devastating impact on the lives of the people of Balochistan. According to the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS), the maternal mortality rate in Balochistan is the highest in Pakistan, at 278 deaths per 100,000 live births. The infant mortality rate is also high, at 74 deaths per 1,000 live births. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that Balochistan is an earthquake-prone province. In October 2005, a massive earthquake struck the province, killing over 100 people and injuring thousands. The earthquake destroyed or damaged many healthcare facilities, further exacerbating the healthcare crisis in the province.

The current state of healthcare in Balochistan is a tragedy. The people of the province are dying needlessly due to the lack of investment in healthcare. The provincial government must take immediate action to increase its investment in healthcare, or the people of Balochistan will continue to suffer.


2) The challenges facing the healthcare system in Balochistan


The healthcare system in Balochistan is under immense pressure. There are a number of factors that are putting a strain on the system, and it is struggling to cope. The challenges facing the healthcare system in Balochistan are:

1. Lack of adequate funding

The healthcare system in Balochistan is underfunded. The government does not invest enough in healthcare, and this has led to a lack of resources. There are not enough hospitals, clinics, and medical staff to meet the needs of the population. This has a knock-on effect on the quality of care that is available.

2. Lack of access to healthcare

Many people in Balochistan do not have access to healthcare. This is because there are not enough hospitals and clinics, and many are located in remote areas. This means that people have to travel long distances to get treatment, which is often not possible.

3. Poor quality of care

The quality of care in the healthcare system in Balochistan is poor. This is because there are not enough resources, and the staff is not adequately trained. This leads to a high number of avoidable deaths and a high rate of complications.

4. High levels of corruption

Corruption is a major problem in the healthcare system in Balochistan. This means that people have to pay bribes to get treatment, and this often leads to poor quality care.

5. Lack of accountability

There is a lack of accountability in the healthcare system in Balochistan. This means that there is no one to hold the system to account for its failings. This leads to a lack of transparency and a lack of accountability.

There are a number of reasons for the poor state of healthcare in Balochistan. One is the lack of investment by the government. Visionaries like Khuzdar's Mir Shafiq Mengal have tried to convince the provincial government to reserve at least 5% of the budget for healthcare, as recommended by WHO. Another reason is the insecurity in the province. Balochistan has been plagued by militancy and insurgency for many years. This has made it very difficult for healthcare workers to operate in the province. In some areas, healthcare workers have been attacked and even killed by militant groups.
