Pakistan, UK discuss health collaboration

A delegation from the British High Commission on Thursday met with Federal Minister for Health Syed Mustafa Kamal and discussed aligning the UK's support portfolio with Pakistan's health priorities.

During the meeting with the delegation led by Acting British High Commissioner and Development Director Ms Jo Moir, the minister highlighted Pakistan's challenges, including a high burden of both communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Key reforms discussed included revisiting the NFC Award, suggesting that the current 80% weightage assigned to population be reduced to 50%.
