ABSTRACT: Pakistan is one of the countries most affected by the COVID-19 epidemic
in South Asia. The purpose of this paper is on the way to examine the medical, socio-economic challenges facing the nation. The
study design includes nationwide COVID-19 data at the country level that
were paired with the distressed population of healthcare, socio-economic
status. Qualitative information and quantitative data from disparate sources
have been used from secondary sources. From official sources by using data,
guesses have been made of the defenseless population. Our analysis shows that
there are inadequate well-resourced hospitals, insufficient challenging
services, insufficient understanding, incorrect knowledge, attitudes and
practices to guidelines, poverty and dangerous employment are the main issues
in the spread of COVID-19. Stern law implementation measures should be made and
ensuring that people follow the rules can help to lessen the spread of
infection. Satisfactory medical facilities are crucial for founding appropriate
health services.
