Pakistan's medical situation is poor, and there is no complete medical system and medical insurance system. There are two kinds of hospitals: public hospitals and private hospitals. Public hospitals charge little, mainly for ordinary citizens, but the environment is poor, the equipment is poor and the medical level is low. Private hospitals have advanced equipment and high medical level, but the fees are relatively expensive compared with the average income of local people.
Due to the imperfect water supply system, long-term disrepair of pipelines, long-term water shortage, serious pollution, acidic water quality and high bacterial content in local cities, it is easy to cause intestinal diseases and cannot be directly drunk. Due to water shortage, urban greening is extremely low, air dust content is high, and there are many flies and mosquitoes. In addition, the medical system is not perfect, ordinary people lack basic health knowledge, and are prone to many diseases, such as gastrointestinal diseases, cholera, lung diseases, tuberculosis, liver diseases, congenital poliomyelitis and so on. At the beginning of 2006, several cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus were also found in the north. To this end, with the help of the International Health Organization, the government has established a research center for the prevention of avian influenza virus in Islamabad, the capital, and established early warning and primary prevention mechanisms in various provinces.
The most popular sport in Pakistan should be cricket. A large number of Pakistanis watch international competitions that Pakistan participates in on TV, especially against India, its old enemy. Pakistan is one of the international cricket powers. It won the World Cup in 1992 and won several gold medals in the Olympic Games. In addition, Cabadie is also a popular folk sport for Pakistanis.
The government strives to solve social problems and improve people's living conditions, especially employment and medical care. There are some social and religious welfare organizations engaged in welfare activities all over the country. The government also vigorously develops the information technology industry, allowing more ordinary people to use high-tech information equipment.
