"One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star."
11:37"Compared to other countries at its level of income, Pakistan has 36 percent lower births attended by trained personnel. It has 11 percentage points higher babies born with low birth weight, 42 percent lower health spending per capita, 1.6 percent of GDP less in public health spending, 27 excess infant deaths per thousand, 19 excess child deaths per thousand, and 23 percentage points less share of population with access to sanitation. Relative to other countries at its level of income, Pakistan has 20 percentage points fewer elementary school-age children enrolled in primary school. This gap is explained entirely by the 40 percentage points fewer elementary school-age girls who attend primary school. The 14 percentage point shortfall in secondary enrollment compared to other countries at its income level is explained mainly by a 20 percentage point shortfall for females. Twenty-four percentage points more of Pakistan’s population is illiterate than is normal for a country of its income level, reflecting excess illiteracy of 32 percentage points for females and 16 percentage points for males." —
