Current vaccination status
According to official WHO data, a total of 333.09 million vaccine doses have been administered as of January 22nd, 2023. More recent data are not yet available to WHO. There are 162.21 million people who have received at least one vaccination (73.4 percent). The booster vaccination was received by 49.55 million people (22.4 percent).139.22 million of these are considered fully vaccinated in Pakistan (= 63.0 percent).
This means that Pakistan is only in the middle of the field in terms of vaccination coverage. The vaccination rate is higher in 110 countries.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we update the worldwide case numbers daily. A list of all infections and deaths by country can be found on our COVID-19 virus topic page.

Medical supplies
Medical care provided by doctors and hospitals in Pakistan is below average compared to the world population. The country provides 0.6 hospital beds per 1,000 inhabitants. The global mean here is 2.9 beds. Within the EU, 4.6 beds are available for every 1,000 residents. With about 226,000 physicians in Pakistan, there are about 0.98 doctors per 1000 inhabitants. Here again the comparison: worldwide this standard is 1.50 physicians per 1,000 inhabitants and in the EU is 3.57.
Through medical care, the mortality rate of major known diseases can be reduced as far as possible. For example, only about 29 percent of all people who suffer from cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or chylomicron retention disease (CRD) currently die.
Drinking water supply
Explanation of the graph:Red line: access to water supply via wells or delivered drinking water
Green bars: Permanent access to running and tested drinking water connection
Only around 36 percent of the population has access to an immediately available running water supply. At least via springs and wells within a maximum distance of 30 minutes or supplied water, 90 peprcent of the population is supplied with largely clean drinking water. In a global comparison, only about 74 percent of the population has direct access to tested and always available drinking water. Within the European Union, this share is 98 percent. Only in a few countries does the proportion fall below 10 percent.
