This paper examines Pakistan’s health system, focusing on health-seeking behaviors and service utilization in the context of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Using 14 UHC tracer indicators, the analysis highlights Pakistan’s lagging position compared to neighboring countries. The study emphasizes the need for improvements in health-seeking behaviors and addressing broader determinants of health. Achieving UHC requires collective action and shared responsibility across various sectors to build strong systems, create comprehensive policies, allocate sufficient resources, and implement cross-disciplinary interventions.
