Abstract

The authors discuss the developments in Pakistan, particularly the challenges confronted by the government and its people, including political instability, conflict, and natural disasters. They claim that the major public health and humanitarian crisis confronting the country is child survival. Among the moves by the government to resolve the issues is the establishment of a national disaster management system.
