Bacterial infections the ‘second leading cause of death worldwide’

What has #Pakistan already done? Vaccination campaigns have proven to reduce deaths by vaccine-preventable diseases like #measles, #WhoopingCough, #typhus, and #tetanus in under-resourced and low-ranked SDI areas #GBDstudy

What can #Pakistan 🇵🇰 do? Address the burden of infectious diseases like #TB and #hepatitis by containing the spread while curbing the rising rates of #NCDs by informing younger people about crucial lifestyle choices

The 5 leading causes of all-age mortality were: 1. Neonatal disorders 2. Ischemic heart disease 3. Stroke 4. Diarrheal diseases 5. Lower respiratory infections Contributors to the overall disease burden in 1990-2019: low birth weight and short gestation and PM pollution

Pakistan's health disparities: national socio-demographic index went as follows:

National SDI of 0.476 increased by 83% in 30 years

Gilgit-Baltistan's SDI of 0.413 increased by 133%, the greatest gain in 30 years

Islamabad SDI of 0.725, which increased 57%, the lowest gain in 30 years

Pakistan's life expectancy (LE) saw:
The national LE: 65.9 years
Gilgit-Baltistan LE: 64.6 years (which ad the greatest gain of 11% in 30 years)
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa LA: 67.1 years (which had the lowest gain of 3% in 30 years)
