Islamabad: The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has implemented several initiatives over the past three years to enhance Pakistan’s health sector, resulting in substantial improvements. The Federal Cabinet’s approval of the National Vaccine Policy has been a critical step in promoting local vaccine production and aligning Pakistan with international standards.

According to Radio Pakistan, the National Blood Transfusion Policy has strengthened the system for providing safe blood supplies and has increased plasma production. Additionally, a strategy has been devised to position Pakistan as a medical tourism hub, attracting patients from other countries seeking medical treatment.

The health-tech sector in Pakistan has seen new developments, including the emergence of startups, telemedicine services, and foreign investment. This growth has contributed to the healthcare sector’s profit reaching 42.2 billion rupees last year, marking a seventy-eight percent increase and setting a record-high level.
