Pakistan, as all of us understand is a creating nation and also we are presently going through lots of obstacles and also issues. These issues vary from terrorism, power dilemma and poverty to improperly created education as well as wellness systems.

Health and wellness, which is the fundamental human right, has actually however not been our concern. This declaration is supported by the fact that according to the World Wellness Organization 2013 statistics, the health system of our nation is currently placed as 122 out of 190 countries. This is a very worrying number specifically thinking about the reality that a person of our neighboring countries Iran is placed as 93 in the same list. This particular figure certainly attracts our interest in the direction of issues in the health and wellness sector which we are currently facing.

Firstly, we need to understand what is indicated by wellness system. The health system does not only include health centers and medical professionals. It rather involves anything and also everything which straight or indirectly influences the wellness of populaces. The wellness system is composed of health centers, setting, urban planning, food, nourishment as well as countless other markets which are directly or indirectly involved in determining the health and wellness of populaces. What this indicates is the reality that by simply developing new medical facilities and also creating more medical professionals, we can not make our health systems better. There has to be a multi-sectoral method which needs to involve all the parts of the health and wellness system.

The following and the most crucial element to take into consideration is that we need to improve our existing health and wellness system model. If we wish to improve the health standing of our population, we need to base our wellness system on the preventative strategy rather than the medicinal approach, that is, we need to advertise public health. The time has actually now come where we must come out of the downstream (medical professional) strategy and also relocate towards upstream (public health) strategy. This is the only method by which we can make it through and also can make the wellness standing of our population better. We ought to reassess as well as change our existing health and wellness plan and we will have to develop it on the model of public health. This is the requirement of the time and also if we want to survive and take on the world, we need to follow the public wellness design instead of the medical professional’s version.

Presently, there are just a handful of institutes all throughout the nation which offer expert research studies in the field of preventive medicine. In order to produce competent public health professionals, we need to have several academic institutes whose focus is entirely on preventive medicine. The federal government ought to likewise sustain such institutes and also give suitable funding to them, to make sure that they can ultimately become stable and also lasting. Therefore the only way to make our health and wellness market thrive is by dealing with public health. If this is refrained from doing on a concern basis as well as we are not able to change our emphasis from medical professionals version to public health design, it is feared that we will delay far behind regarding the health and wellness sector is concerned.
