Nursing exodus deepens healthcare crisis
Surviving meagre salaries and an overwhelming workload, medical staff from across the country are almost always on the lookout for better work opportunities abroad. While foreign job offers are a golden ticket for the nurses, their exodus leaves behind an irreplaceable void in the local healthcare system. Just like in other provinces, a large number of nurses from Punjab are heading overseas in search of better financial opportunities, professional growth, and improved working conditions. Their top destinations include the Gulf countries, the UK, and Canada. According to the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment, nurses made up around 5.8 per cent of Pakistan's total 'highly educated' workforce that went abroad in 2024. The migrating nurses have revealed that they are offered better salaries and facilities abroad, enabling them to meet their needs more easily. Reportedly, Pakistan requires around 700,000 nurses, while the global demand is even higher. Due to this brain drain, Pakistan's healthcare system is under significant pressure. Between 2019 and 2024, the number of Pakistani nurses registered abroad grew at an average annual rate (CAGR) of 54.2 per cent — a highly concerning figure. This increasing trend has made it even more difficult to provide proper healthcare services in a country already facing a shortage of nurses. Globally, it is estimated that 15 per cent of nurses from developing countries migrate to developed nations each year, with similar patterns observed in Pakistan, where large-scale migration is affecting healthcare services in the country and demotivating new nursing graduates. 'Even though many new nursing colleges have been established in the private sector, the Pakistan Nursing Council is not allocating enough quotas for new nursing students. Since those trained nurses bring in valuable foreign exchange once they start working abroad, the investment in nursing education is worthwhile. However, the lack of support from the Nursing Council is creating hurdles for private colleges,' said the head of a private nursing college. According to the Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council (PNMC) the number of registered nurses in the country is far below what is required for a population of over 240 million. Pakistan's nursing-to-doctor ratio is also below global standards. As per PNMC, there were only 116,659 registered nurses in Pakistan in 2020. WHO guidelines stipulate that there should be three nurses per doctor, but in Pakistan, there are only 0.5 nurses to assist each doctor. Official figures have revealed that 727,381 registered professionals left Pakistan in 2024, while over 336,442 have already moved abroad during the first six months of 2025. Sources also revealed that a large number of nurses are going abroad through private arrangements hence no formal record of their migration exists. Punjab's Director General of Nursing, Kausar Parveen, claimed that the number of nurses in the province was low, but the government had taken steps to address the shortfall. 'It is estimated that by 2030, the demand for nurses will reach 100,000. In response, the government has taken measures in collaboration with the University of Health Sciences and both public and private institutions. The shortfall of about 3,000 nurses has already been addressed. Currently, around 44 institutions are offering nursing education across the province,' said Parveen. Unfortunately, however, despite government claims, a significant number of nurses are leaving Pakistan due to economic conditions. While steps are being taken to fill the gap in public healthcare, a shortage remains in the private sector.

Sources in the Pakistan Pharma Manufacturers Association (PPMA) said the exports of Pharma also surged by 34% during the fiscal year due to the government's reasonable pricing policy. The policy of price deregulation is in line with international standards, which has resulted in the increase of investment and production, the sources added.

Non-essential drugs: Medicines widely available after deregulation
KARACHI: Nearly all medicines required by Pakistani patients are now widely available at local pharmacies, following the government's move to deregulate prices of non-essential drugs, industry representative said. Officials, pharmaceutical industry representatives, and health experts say the decision has effectively ended years of chronic shortages and curbed black-market profiteering. They said the policy shift has restored patient access to life-saving treatments, reduced counterfeit drugs, and revived confidence in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, speaking to journalists in Karachi, said deregulation reversed a crisis that had left patients scrambling for basic and critical medicines. 'For a long time, essential drugs like insulin, tuberculosis treatments, and even over-the-counter painkillers such as Panadol were missing from pharmacies because their government-fixed prices were far below production cost,' said Pakistan Pharmaceutical Manufactur-ers Association (PPMA) Chairman Tauqeer ul Haq. He explained that with inflation, currency devaluation, and rising global raw material costs, production at the old rates became impossible. 'A tablet that cost Rs 3 to the patient couldn't be manufactured even at that price. Deregulation allowed the same tablet to be priced at Rs. 6, which brought it back to the market,' he said. Health experts also endorsed the change, saying it reduced black-market exploitation and improved the supply of quality medicines. Deregulation, introduced at the end of 2023, applies only to non-essential medicines, while more than 460 essential drugs remain under strict government price control to safeguard affordability. Even provincial drug administration officials across all four provinces and federally administered regions confirmed that nearly all medicines are now available in the market. They said shortages that previously created space for counterfeit products have largely been eliminated. A joint survey by PPMA and Pharma Bureau, supported by a recent IQVIA report, found that post-deregulation prices for the top 100 pharmaceutical brands increased by an average of 16.5 percent. Industry officials clarified, however, that much of this rise came from prior hardship price adjustments and new product introductions rather than deregulation alone. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, the Consumer Price Index for medicines in June 2025 showed urban prices rising by 13.05 percent and rural prices by 15.3 perent—still lower than inflation in many other sectors. Officials highlighted that previously scarce drugs, including anti-epileptics, psychiatric medicines, and certain cancer therapies, are now widely available. Unit sales of medicines have also improved, with IQVIA reporting a rise in market volume growth from 0.8 percent in 2023 to 3.6 percent this year. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
