The aging population in Pakistan is rapidly increasing due to advancements in healthcare and improved living standards. This demographic shift presents both challenges and opportunities for the healthcare system.

The article also explores the social and economic factors that affect healthcare provision and suggests strategies for improving elderly care in Pakistan. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive healthcare policies that address the unique needs of the aging population and ensure equitable access to healthcare services.
