Overview

This policy brief translates the PHPS 2024–25 baseline findings into priorities for improving Universal Health Coverage and population outcomes in Punjab. It highlights gaps in continuity and quality of maternal healthcare, high cesarean-section prevalence, inequities in family planning access and counseling, child immunization gaps, and district-level disparities. The brief draws on a district-representative survey of 24,540 households and 19,536 ever-married women and identifies policy and service-delivery actions for stronger, more equitable health outcomes.
