Abstract
The Public health situation at Pakistan in general and particularly in Baluchistan province is not satisfactory. The main responsibility of every government is provision of better and standard public health care coverage. Most of developed and some developing countries have achieved these objectives by successful implementing of Social Health Insurance (SHI). The 57th World Health Assembly in May 2005 has adopted the resolution which has emphasized on sustainable and universal health coverage through enactment of general taxation and social health insurance. Pakistan is still in the process of trial and error and could not implement any social health insurance in any of its province. The province of Baluchistan is facing same public health care issues like of other provinces. There are acute shortage health care resources in some hospitals but in some cases the available resources are under-utilized properly. The present study is based on secondary data collected by reviewing different relevant articles and derived an appropriate model and suggestion for successful implementation of social health insurance in Balochistan.The solution for these problems is implementation of SHI in province. In this regard at first stage the Ministry of Health the Government of Balochistan needs to pass special bill from the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan for implementation of social health insurance in the province. Then Ministry of Health Balochistan needs to develop a pool of health care fund and accumulate funds from various sources, sufficient for provisions of health care services. Then the health ministry should start the awareness program so that large number of people can participate in the new health care system. If the government is successful in implementation of Social Health Insurance it will be able to provide quality health care services and will be in position to universal health coverage.
