65 years was the average life expectancy in Pakistan in 2021, a nearly 2.5-year increase from 1990.

A 54% increase in the gap between the provinces with the highest and lowest SDI in Pakistan occurred from 1990 to 2019, demonstrating persistent inequities within the country.

24% of all health loss in Pakistan in 2021 was due to neonatal disorders, representing the leading contributor to health burden in the country.
