Sindh is lagging behind the rest of the country in health indicators, revealed an analysis carried out by the health department for the newly launched Sindh Health Sector Strategy (2012-2020). The health department had carried out an evidence-based situational analysis from September to November 2011 for the eight-year health plan announced. The report presents an overview of the current health situation and also points out the weak areas in the operational health system. According to the evidence-based report, detection of tuberculosis has reached 59 per cent in Sindh, while it was 70 per cent in the rest of the country. The prevalence of Hepatitis B and C remained a major concern while around 52 per cent of the total HIV cases have been reported from Sindh, particularly the urban areas.
