Topics covered include: inequalities in health outcomes, health behavior and health care utilization; benefit incidence analysis; financial protection; and the progressivity of health care financing. Pakistan's government is committed to improving the equity of health outcomes and the ability to offer financial protection in the health sector through the implementation of the National Health Policy. Pakistan spends 2.62 per cent (2009) of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health. This is far lower than the average spending levels in other countries in the South Asia Region, which have spent an average of 5.3 per cent (2009) of their GDP on health.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONAGEDANGINAANGINA PECTORISANTENATAL CAREARIARTHRITISASTHMABASIC HEALTHBCGBIRTHSBLOOD TESTSBREASTBREAST CANCERBURDEN OF DISEASECATASTROPHIC EXPENDITURECERVICAL CANCERCHILD HEALTHCHILDHOODCHILDHOOD ILLNESSCLINICSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCONDOMCONTRACEPTIONCOST OF CARECOUGHINGCOUNSELINGDEATHSDELIVERY SYSTEMDEPRESSIONDIABETESDIARRHEADISPENSARIESDOCTORECONOMIES OF SCALEFAMILIESFEVERFINANCIAL CONSEQUENCESFINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONSFINANCIAL IMPACTFINANCIAL PROTECTIONFINANCING OF HEALTH CAREHEALTH ADMINISTRATIONHEALTH BEHAVIORHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE DELIVERYHEALTH CARE FINANCINGHEALTH CARE PROVIDERHEALTH CARE SYSTEMHEALTH CARE UTILIZATIONHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH ECONOMICSHEALTH EQUITYHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH FINANCING SYSTEMHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGEHEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH OUTCOME INDICATORSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SPENDINGHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SURVEILLANCEHEALTH SURVEYSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEMSHIVHIV POSITIVEHOSPITAL BEDSHOSPITAL CAREHOSPITAL SERVICESHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD EXPENDITUREILLNESSIMMUNIZATIONINCIDENCE ANALYSISINCOMEINCOME COUNTRIESINCOME GROUPSINEQUALITIES IN HEALTH CAREINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFORMAL PAYMENTSINJURYINPATIENT CAREINSURANCEINSURANCE FIRMSINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONSLIVING STANDARDSMALARIAMAMMOGRAMMARGINAL COSTMARGINAL COSTSMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHMEASLESMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL TREATMENTMEDICINEMENTALMENTAL HEALTHMIDWIFEMORTALITYMORTALITY RATESMOSQUITO NETMOTHERSNATIONAL HEALTHNATIONAL HEALTH POLICYNURSENUTRITIONOBESITYORAL REHYDRATIONORAL REHYDRATION SALTSOUTPATIENT CAREOUTPATIENT SERVICESPAP SMEARPATIENTSPHYSICAL ACTIVITYPHYSICIANSPOCKET PAYMENTSPOISONINGPOLIOPREGNANT WOMENPREVALENCEPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIVATE INSURANCEPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH SERVICESPUBLIC HOSPITALSPUBLIC PROVIDERSRISK FACTORSSCREENINGSEXUAL INTERCOURSESMOKINGSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE SYSTEMSOCIAL SECURITYSPECIALISTSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSYMPTOMSTBTOBACCO PRODUCTSTUBERCULOSISUNDER-FIVE MORTALITYVIOLENCEVISIONReportWorld Bank10.1596/27065
