    Abstract End Polio Pakistan program still has to overcome many hurdles; unfortunately on 8th February 2016 first polio case of the year has surfaced in Karachi. It seems that battle against polio demands little bit more conviction and motivation. WHO has set a goal of polio eradication in Pakistan till 2018, in order to evaluate the success of this target; polio eradication campaign in Pakistan has been analyzed in different perspectives. Our analysis indicated that major obstacles in eradication are low literacy rate, poor health infrastructure, lack of planning, natural disaster, economic crisis, counter insurgencies and almost no protection for polio health workers. WHO has allocated new funds to tackle this problem, now there is a need to spend this money more effectively; with proper planning and honest deployment of funds.

    Abstract Pakistan is facing serious economic slump as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rate of Pakistan was 3.29% in year 2019 which was less than previous GDP rate of 5.53% for year 2018. Moreover current outbreak of COVID-19 is estimated to further decrease GDP rate to a negative value of -1.55% in year 2020. There is a sharp jump in poverty ratio from 30.3% in year 2018 to 40% in year 2020. Currently approximately 69 million people are living in poverty in Pakistan.1 Apart from these added burdens on Pakistan’s economy are 1.4 million afghan refugees and 106000 internally displaced people. 2,3 This declining economic trend is very alarming as it clearly indicates the difficulties that government is going to face in coming months.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 is a global pandemic with 12% mortality rate. This pandemic has shattered health care sector of many developed countries across the globe. According to World Health Organization (WHO) India and Pakistan will be badly hit by the pandemic till end of June 2020. Both countries are densely populated and the fragile health sector of these countries is incapable to facilitate of large number of critically ill patients. Data analysis from different studies revealed that Cytokine Storming (CS) is main cause of COVID-19 related respiratory, renal, cardiac and neural complications in critically ill patients. Objectives: The aim of this review is to highlight the significance of CS in management of COVID-19 infection. Methods: Literature from previous studies was collected to suggest the possible diagnostic testing as well as strategies to manage these patients. Mesh terms such as Corona, COVID-19, Cytokine storming, Wuhan, Pandemic were applied on PUBMED as well as google to search for the latest published articles. Reports and newpapers were also considered as this is an ongoing pandemic and there is scarcity of knowledge and information in this regard. Results: IL6 and TNFα blockers are helpful in regulating the uncontrolled immune response due to CS. Levels of different substances like ferritin, Cytokine Reactive Proteins and D-dimer can be helpful in early detection of these complications. Conclusions: The early detection of CS can be used for selection of appropriate treatment, reduction in burden on Intensive Care Units (ICU) and ultimately saving many lives.
