    Abstract Most developing countries with weak economies and low GDPs strive to invest an optimal amount of budget to health sector. Compounding on this state of affairs is their inherent inefficiency to spend even that meager amount on the welfare of the patients, improving service delivery, motivating their workforce and making their health systems responsive to the needs of the people they serve. With weak fiscal base and inelasticity in budget spending, when these countries face a catastrophe like COVID-19, there is a whole situation of havoc and lack of finances emerges as the biggest issue in such crises. Pakistan has been no exception to this kind of situation. Government funds allocated to other public sector development schemes are diverted to deal with the health emergency. Hence, the result is an overall socioeconomic shock that a country has to face. Amid such crises, other international commitments also face a state of uncertainty. With the changing disease patterns all over the world, the public financial management system for health sector needs to be revisited to devise a more sustainable and resilient mechanism not only to absorb shocks like COVID-19 but also to meet the international health commitments.

    Abstract Attaining the ambitious targets pronounced in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will necessitate radical changes in policy as well as extensive reforms and strong inter-sectoral coordination in the healthcare system of Pakistan. While aiming for such macro-level achievements, it is imperative to analyze the on-the-ground realities of any health system. Improving health systems has the potential to assist progress toward MDGs in the near term by promoting more equitable access and introducing effective interventions. More money allocation and more health spending would not necessarily mean better health for Pakistanis. The complex composition of the healthcare system drives us to study the intricate phenomena of health service utilization and healthcare-seeking behaviours. Such an approach will thus provide evidence to sensitize health personnel to provide more empathetic care and to encourage the community at large to start seeking appropriate and timely healthcare. This paper advocates thinking beyond health services provision by reaching out to people and understanding their perceptions, practices and health-seeking behaviours. Achieving millennium development goals will necessitate interventions that address health issues of women, children and all other vulnerable groups in Pakistan.

  6. Article: Understanding social determinants of health seeking behaviours, providing a rational framework for health policy and systems development.

    Shaikh, Babar T

    Abstract The concept of studying health seeking behaviours has evolved with the course of time and has ultimately become a tool for understanding how people employ the health care systems in their respective socio-cultural, economic and demographic circumstances. All these behaviours actually define social position of health and provide a better understanding of the disease process. It is therefore imperative to study the impacts of all the determinants, such as ethnicity, education of the mother, gender of child, lifestyles, or economics of a community. All the same, biomedical knowledge alone cannot guarantee better health. Health practitioners, managers and policy makers ought to reflect on social determinants while delivering services, designing health promotion interventions and developing policies. To build a responsive health system, there is a strong need to understand the health seeking behaviours on the demand side and that is the only way to expect improved health outcomes. This paper trails the history of pledges and promises, from Alma Ata declaration to Millennium Development Goals, to consider the importance of social determinants for a healthy public policy and health system development.

    Abstract Babar T ShaikhPopulation and Reproductive Health Program, Department of Community Health Sciences, Aga Khan University, Karachi, PakistanAbstract: The recent data on unmet need in the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2006–2007 shows a high unmet need for contraceptives, although family planning programs have been in place in this country since the late 1950s. The phenomenon presents a complex picture, as the contraceptive prevalence rate has remained almost unchanged over the last 10 years. To analyze this situation, a novel technique or a new lens would be required. This paper attempts to examine the problem at various levels: users, family, community, health system, other sectors, and the state. A multipronged and multisectoral approach is a prerequisite to institutionalize the family planning services all across the health sector. Studying health-seeking behaviors and conducting health systems research have the potential of delivering the desired recipe to address the high unmet need for family planning in Pakistan.Keywords: health-seeking behaviors, health systems research

    Abstract Present investigation was undertaken to formulate and prepare bread by using mixtures of white wheat flour and brewery spent grain at various proportions viz. 5: 95, 10: 90 and 15: 85. It was then placed on parchment paper and stored at room temperature, and physico-chemical characters, as well as sensory quality attributes were determined in the product. Maximum overall acceptability score for the fresh product prepared with white wheat flour and brewery spent grain (5: 95) was 7.6, which was found to be most suitable
