Every year we add 500,000 new tuberculosis cases, making Pakistan the 5th highest burden country. Around 12 million people are living with hepatitis B and C, making us the worst affected country in the Eastern Mediterranean region. More than 250,000 children die in their first 28 days of life, making Pakistan the riskiest country for young children. More children die in Pakistan than in Afghanistan, Somalia, South Sudan, Mali and Chad. Nearly two hundred mothers die out of every hundred thousand giving birth — one of the highest maternal mortality rates in our region.
