Pakistan

Australia has been able to support international efforts to reduce the effects of COVID-19 among Pakistan’s most vulnerable people, including emergency assistance. We have advocated with our partners for equity of access to a COVID-19 vaccine.

Alongside international partners, Australia is supporting Pakistan’s economic recovery from the impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Australia is providing emergency assistance to respond to immediate COVID-19 health security challenges. For example, through the Asian Development Bank, we have helped strengthen COVID-19 surveillance and testing system at the national and provincial laboratories.
