Currently, health care system in Lahore is comprised of public hospitals, healthcare units and dispensaries, which are not sufficient to meet the healthcare requirements of 169.9 million people. Under the elaborated dimensional analyses, the study aims to identify the scarcity of facilities in public hospitals that adversely affect patient’s health and also discusses why the government neglects the public health sector.
