Women's health in Pakistan is more than just an issue of under development in the country, an issue that includes the social norms and constructs that have for long kept women in the shadows. The maternity issues in the country are a major cause for the death of both mother and children during the time of pregnancy. It is the rural areas in Pakistan, which still has to go a long way in securing a healthy life for the women. The primary factors of women's death in the rural areas are negligence, ignorance regarding health and diseases, lack of proper medical infrastructure.
Several projects have gone on floor to alleviate women's health in Pakistan and reach out medical aid to women in regions and communities, where women suffer due to either negligence or lack of health care system. Major works are being done to improve in the fields of pregnancy care, sexually transmitted diseases, digestive disorders, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
