A nation’s progress has always remained associated with the better health of its natives. Pakistan even after investing so much in the health industry is still striving hard to meet the today’s world health standards. Revolution in health care services is definitely not an easy task to achieve but the reformation could make even the hardest thing happen. A healthy nation always contribute towards the productivity and economic development of a country. Health is definitely the basic right of every citizen living in Pakistan as well as in distinct corners of the world.
Reasons of Decline in Health Sector
Pakistan clutches the worst health care indicators, which needs to get improved at any cost as it would otherwise backfire our economy and makes us move towards downfall. Health industry of Pakistan has failed to reach optimum level because of some very strong reasons, some of which are as under:
·
Lack of merit hiring upon the health jobs
·
Absence of concrete health policies
·
Centralized financial, administrative and
management authorities
·
Political influence
·
Unavailability of required equipment
·
Unethical behavior and malpractices with
patients
·
Worst condition of government hospitals
·
Corruption in drug supply
·
Scarceness and misallocation of resources
·
Lack of proper planning programs
·
Low salaries of the people appointed over health
jobs in Pakistan
·
Increased absenteeism of health personnel
·
Illegal fees
·
Leaking of equipment and supplies
·
Lack of dedication and commitment of the people
hired over health jobs
Success Associated with the Health Care Professionals
To achieve success in health sector, we seriously need to
improve our system with the hiring of enthusiastic, devoted, loyal and keen
individuals over health jobs. This is undoubtedly crucial but can be done with
the efforts of government, private and public health sectors. For this purpose,
the panel involved in the appointment of doctors, nurses or paramedical staff
over health jobs in Pakistan should be well-experienced and efficient. People
should not be hired just upon the base of strong political approaches, rather
their skills regarding the medical field should be taken into consideration.
Rural Areas needing Special Concern
Principle of equity closely relates with the health industry
of Pakistan, whether the matter is of allocation of resources or the hiring of
health care professionals. Priority should not only be given to urban areas
even when we know that the people living in rural areas of Pakistan deserve
more care as they are less educated and can’t make a fair decision for the
medical problems. Quality of services can also be upgraded with the increase in
salaries of professionals operating over health jobs, especially of the staff
functioning in backward areas.
Perform your Part for a Better Tomorrow
Government should keep health care policies in mind and
monitor the activities of hired health personnel. Professionals operating over
health jobs in developing countries like Pakistan should know the art of working
hard even in least availability of resources.
Short term plans can never contribute towards the country’s
future, for this we genuinely need a long term vision and commitment in health
department. Media should also play its
vital role for making people aware of health issues as well as health reforms,
this would ultimately enhance public participation and motivate them to look
for a better tomorrow. So, face the challenges, hire the best individuals over
the health
jobs and make your state a part of developed countries. Best of Luck!
