Bhutto Zardari lauded Sindh’s public-private healthcare partnerships, specifically highlighting their significant contribution to reducing child mortality rates. He referenced a report by the US-based PALISI network, which documented a 1.2% mortality rate at ChildLife-supported facilities in Larkana and Karachi. This rate is notably lower than the 1.4% recorded at Aga Khan Hospital and substantially below the 6.3% average observed in similar countries.
