treating the patients with the updated technology devices majorly in the urban
areas or big cities.

the authentic services. The e-pharmacy system and the online doctor’s
consultation is also playing a vital role in the economy of Pakistan.
However, the struggle to implement the tech-systems in the hospitals of rural
areas is still in progress. This sector is divided into two main parts where the
hospitals are serving as the private ones or the government hospitals.

by the private healthcare systems and only 30% is served by the public sectors.

hospitals in terms of doctors, services, medical equipment, infrastructures,
etc. According to the reports, the government hospitals are also changing with

system of healthcare is regulated and managed by several federal as well as
state agencies that include the Disease Control Centers, Health and Human
Service Departments, Health Quality Assurance Departments, Medicare and
the Medicaid centers along with the Food Inspection and Administration
Departments.
