Abstract

In countries such as Pakistan where there is paucity of resources, just allocation of resources becomes more critical8. Resource allocation is informal12,22, centralized12,22 and based on personal and political influences and donor wishes22 rather than national interests8. The health policy making process in Pakistan is explicit yet there is lack of coordination between the Planning Commission and the planning and implementation partners, the Ministries that leads to inefficient decision-making as shown by the broken lines12,22. This paper will, therefore, discuss if health resources are allocated justly in Pakistan, using EPI program as an example.
