Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Pakistan?

When we asked expats in Pakistan if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Pakistan, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Pakistan can be expensive, especially for those who are not covered by any form of health insurance. The cost of medical care in Pakistan is often higher than in other countries, and the cost of health insurance can be prohibitive for many people. Additionally, the quality of healthcare in Pakistan is often lower than in other countries, making it difficult for people to access the care they need. As a result, many people in Pakistan are unable to access the healthcare they need, leading to poorer health outcomes," commented one expat who made the move to Pakistan.

"Having traveled fairly well and lived in the US for one years as a student at Harvard and later 2 years working there, I would not compare the Pakistan health facilities with the developed countries but Pakistan trained doctors are welcomed all over the developed economies in droves. The quality of Pakistan's health facilities is very reliable if you've money to spend. Private hospitals and facilities abound and provide real good quality of services which is very low priced in comparison to international prices for comparable services and procedures. The quality of public-funded universal coverage is bad due to lack of resources and management efficiency nonetheless," remarked another expat in Pakistan.
