Abstract
Global Burden of Disease is calculated taking into an account of all the major surveys, hospital records, registries data etc., and this has been highly beneficial in pursuing governments to readdress their health policies ad interventions, and allocate resources according to their local burden of disease. Pakistan’s health system lacks disease registration according to ICD-9 and ICD-10 disease classification. The major hospitals do not have cause of death registered as per these classifications leading toincomparability of these data with global figures. Nonetheless, the statistical disease modelling gives a fair idea of changing disease burden of the societies. In fact, progress towards SDGs for well-certified death registration stands at “0” on a scale of 0-100, for the country during 2016.
