Pakistan is a developing country and it has lot of issues but health is its one of the leading issue because up to 67% of its population is currently in rural areas. Rural community of Pakistan is badly affected by this issue. Allocation and distribution of resources in the Pakistan is un equal because of this inequality, ru- ral community suffers a lot regarding serious health issues and facing many dan- gerous diseases. Both developed and developing countries report geographically skewed distribution of healthcare professionals, favoring urban and wealthy areas, despite the fact that people in rural communities are experiencing many health re- lated problems. To prevent from this big problem govt. should distribute the re- sources equally and provide the necessary staff and skilled professionals to rural community and introduce such a system which helps them to decrease the health- care issues. We are going to propose a design for the rural community which helps them to facilitate with first aid in emergency problems and give them relief. It can help them in a cases like maternity etc. Keywords: Facilities, Maternity, Resources, Health, Govt. Expenditures, Rural Areas, Pakistan, Problems. 1 Introduction Health plays the productive role in determining the human capital. A better health improves the productivity of labor force. In all over the world Pakistan considered as developing country and the population of Pakistan is almost according to the research of 2008 is 130 million.

EthnoScripts Spaces of Nature: Producing Gilgit-Baltistan as the Eco-Body of the Nation Nosheen Ali Introduction A while ago, when I was studying in Grade 8 at an English-medium school in Lahore, our class was divided up in four groups for a Geography project on Pakistan. The group of which I was a part had to make a sculptural map of Pakistan, demonstrating the diverse physical and social qualities of its land- scape. And so we had set about carving our country with materials like styro- foam, cotton, cloth, and cardboard. In the final map that we made, the region of Gilgit-Baltistan - then the “Northern Areas” – had remained unlabeled and unpeopled, marked only with mountains made of clay. Even today, nature remains the primary modality through which Gilgit- Baltistan is understood within the Pakistani national imagination. Its mag- nificent peaks and breathtaking valleys invoke within Pakistanis a simulta- neous sense of emotional attachment and proud ownership, permitting them to claim Pakistan as “beautiful”. In this article, I elaborate how the aesthetics of nature constitute a key terrain for state power in Pakistan.

  • Terrorism Financing, Recruitment and Attacks: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Pakistan∗
    Terrorism Financing, Recruitment and Attacks: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Pakistan∗ Nicola Limodioy August 2018 Abstract I investigate the relation between terrorism financing and attacks through a panel of 1,545 Pakistani cities and exogenous variation in a Sharia-compliant funding source. Cities exposed to higher terrorism financing experience more attacks, with organizations reacting to temporary financial inflows. Two methodological innovations further refine this finding. First, the effect of financing on attacks increases in terrorist recruitment, measured using dark-web data on Jihadist fora and machine-learning. Second, a novel city-organization variation allows: a) dissecting the demand and supply of terrorist attacks, with supply exclusively explaining these results; b) estimating the elasticity of terrorist attacks to financing (0.08).

  • Terrorism Financing, Recruitment and Attacks: Evidence from a Natural Experiment∗
    Terrorism Financing, Recruitment and Attacks: Evidence from a Natural Experiment∗ Nicola Limodioy April 2019 Abstract I present empirical evidence showing that terrorism financing and recruitment pro- mote terrorist attacks. Pakistan offers an ideal setting for this research due to a natural experiment inducing exogenous variation in terrorism financing. In line with terrorist organisations facing financial frictions, I find a correspondence between the timing and location of finance and the attacks by organisations exposed to this transfer. The effect of financing on attacks increases in recruitment, measured by combining dark web data and machine learning. These results suggest that financial counter-terrorism lowers attacks, which I quantify by estimating the elasticity of terrorist attacks to financing (0.25).

  • National Human Development Report
    Pakistan National Human Development Report Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan The front cover of this report represents a vi- sual exercise depicting Pakistan’s youth as a 100 young people. Our wheel of many colours represents the multiple dimensions of what it means to be young in Pakistan today. Based on national data as well as results of our own sur- veys, the Wheel presents a collage of informa- tion on Pakistan’s young people (details in Chap- ter 2). This tapestry shows the diversity as well as vibrance of our youth, while also highlighting the inequities and hurdles they face as young Pakistanis. We chose the Wheel as this Report’s motif and cover art, because it represents not only the basis of our hopes for the future, but also our concerns. Diagram inspired by Jack Hagley’s ‘The world as100 people’. Pakistan National Human Development Report 2017* Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan *NOTE: The data (including national statistics, survey results and consultations) in this report was mostly completed in 2016. Published for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Development Reports: In 1990, Dr. Mahbub ul Haq produced the first Human Develop- ment Report, introducing a new concept of human development focusing on expanding people’s opportunities and choices, and measuring a country’s development progress though the richness of human life rather than simply the wealth of its economy. The report featured a Human Devel- opment Index (HDI) created to assess the people’s capabilities. The HDI measures achievements in key dimensions of human development: individuals enabled to live long and healthy lives, to be knowledgeable, and have a decent standard of living.
