Children at Risk: Healthcare, Abuse & Safety in Pakistan

This episode explores some of the most difficult questions surrounding children’s healthcare, education, safety, and protection in Pakistan. From the growing craze for medical education and the commercialisation of medical colleges to doctors’ working conditions, hospital security, and the safety of children in government hospitals, we discuss the realities faced by both healthcare professionals and the families they serve. The conversation also addresses child abuse, rape, street and out-of-school children, baby theft, and the wider responsibility of society and institutions to protect vulnerable children. We also look at the situation of children in Gaza and the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict on their lives and access to healthcare. #ChildSafety #HealthcarePakistan #ChildAbuse #Pakistan #Doctors #Children #Gaza #MedicalEducation
