The WHO Global Observatory on Health Research and Development shows that there are 73 times more health researchers in high-income countries than low- and middle-income countries. In Pakistan, medical universities remain the major source of research for health in Pakistan, and the country only has about 25 full time equivalent public health researchers per million populations. Moreover, it has been found that the total spending on health research between 2013-2018 was US$ 1.68 million, which is about 0.000003% of Pakistan’s GDP. Comparatively, the health research funding in India was 0.09% of its GDP; in Qatar it was 0.47% and; in United Arab Emirates it was 0.49%. IHHN’s Indus Hospital Research Center (IHRC), has been an essential hub for research activities.
IHHN is committed to supporting evidence-based research activities in order to create a realistic hope of ending or greatly curtailing diseases prevalent both locally and globally.
