Citizen Report Card Study Health Sector Kashmore and Shikarpur - Sindh Citizen Report Card Study Health Sector Kashmore and Shikarpur - Sindh TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL PAKISTAN Provision of health to the citizens is one of the primary responsibility of the Government. Health is also Goal 3 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to which the Government of Pakistan is also a signatory. This Goal states ‘Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages’. These goals have to be achieved by 2030. As the health sector is the domain of the Provincial Government, TI Pakistan undertook this research to report the strengths and weaknesses in the health sector of Sindh, particularly District Kashmore and District Shikarpur. The objective of the study is to provide the Sindh government with an external review of the services offered to the general public with recommendations to address gaps to provide relief to citizens of the province. Besides the government, this research will be disseminated amongst the civil society organizations, academia, media, public and other stakeholders. It is hoped that the Sindh Government will utilize this report to improve the performance of health services at the district level regarding facilities provided to the general public. This research has been made possible due to a grant from Transparency International Secretariat.

During these floods, the ground communication systems were generally disrupted and information on flood extent and damage through ground reporting services was not available for taking timely decisions. To address the situation and to ensure continuous provision of current and timely information to the concerned stakeholder’s and decision makers satellite remote sensing and GIS technologies were extensively utilized. SUPARCO in collaboration with FAO started generating data on daily basis on flood extent, damage to households, infrastructure and crops besides undertaking detailed Damage Need Assessment (DNA). This fast track supply of information made it possible to reach out to affected and displaced masses for supply of food, medical care, relief, rehabilitation and follow up programs. In the aftermath of floods, monitoring of flood recession and ponding of water in the affected areas on decadal basis was also carried out for several months. All of this work was published by SUPARCO-FAO jointly in three reports (Reports 1 to 3).
