Abstract

As Pakistan and United Kingdom; both are the signatory of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the governments of both countries have been bound to ensure; the reduction of child mortality, improvement in maternal health, and undermining malaria, HIV/AIDS and several other diseases. Therefore, the prime motive of this study is to comparatively analyze why the majority of people do not trust public hospitals in Pakistan. They feel that neither doctors in public hospitals seriously look after the patient nor there is proper availability of facilities in the public hospitals. Likewise, the study has also to investigate whether the British people even have high trust in National Health Services (NHS), and why the British people are still suffering from Malaria, HIV/AIDS and issues related to maternal health.
