| Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to highlight the issue of e healthcare concerns caused by COVID-19 in Pakistan . Initially, Pakistan's government had to obtain testing kits from China and Japan since it lacked "standard operating procedures." Moreover, the fast rising number of cases caused a burden on the healthcare system because of violations of the lockdown and standard operating procedures (SOPs). The impact of this epidemic has increased rapidly. Furthermore, Pakistan's low testing capability means that, even as the virus spreads, the majority of COVID-19 tests come up negative. The current situation is also giving rise to a number of questions regarding the government's ability to address the ongoing healthcare issue. In this context, medical specialists recommend that the government take appropriate action to ensure that better security provided to medical professionals . In order to enhance the results of COVID-19 patients, it is imperative that suspected cases be identified, personal protective equipment be introduced, and administrative measures be taken to ensure that healthcare staff have provided better security. Lockdowns, monitoring, and testing have to concentrate on the regions where clusters are found. Before this pandemic causes havoc in terms of mortality, the healthcare workers need to be provided with the highest level of protection. Pakistan must make investments in its chronically underfunded healthcare system in order to strengthen the fight against the pandemic. |
