Executive Summary 8 largest cities including 05 cities of Punjab, one city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Peshawar), one city of Balochistan (Quetta) and Federal Capital Islamabad house 3114 slums/underserved areas. These slums/underserved areas are located in 76% of the total 626 UCs. Approximately 11.9 Million people reside in slums/underserved areas. 86% inhabitants of such areas are permanent settlers with the remaining 13% are temporarily displaced and 1% belong to other nationalities. 36% slums are found to be unregistered and hence lacked access to basic amenities such as adequate water supply and sanitation systems as well as fully functional health systems. The housing conditions in such vulnerable areas are very poor with the residents living in abysmal and dilapidated housing structures. Around 36% of the housing structures present in slums are Kacha or Kacha-Pacca (mixed). From the 99% houses having toilets, 51% have traditional/open pit toilets. On an average, 8 people use a single toilet facility. 28% slums/underserved areas do not have drains and where available 49% of them have choked/filthy drains. 75% slums/underserved areas are devoid of access to the government water supply system and hence acquire water through other sources. 25% slums/underserved areas do not have schools. Slums/underserved areas where schools are available, 44% of them are Madrassas and 74% of them are privately run set ups. 31% Union Councils (UCs) do not have Public health facility and 26% UCs do not have any EPI facility. 2% UCs do not have vaccination outreach services and 37% UCs do not have any kind of Nutrition services. 25% UCs are uncovered by Lady Health Workers (LHWs). When these variables are checked in slums/underserved areas, only 7% slums/underserved areas report access to Public/Private health and EPI facilities within 2 kilometers radius. 29% slums/underserved areas report non-provision of outreach vaccination in their respective areas. 58% slums/underserved areas are uncovered by LHWs. Two of the eight cities namely Peshawar (18) and Quetta (6) house 24 Super High Risk Union Councils (SHRUCs) for polio and routine immunization. 83% of them house 212 slums/underserved areas having 0.5 Million population residing in them. Over 90% slums/underserved areas located in SHRUCs report non-presence of health/EPI facilities. 56% of them are uncovered by LHWs. A holistic assessment of 422 EPI facilities reveal that 59% EPI facilities do not have Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs), 36% have inadequate seating capacity and 31% of such facilities do not have gender segregated waiting areas. 35% of them do not have drinking water available and 26% report unavailability of toilets. Toilets of 31% EPI facilities are gender mixed hence a cultural barrier for females for easy use. 18% report shortage of supplies, namely 2% report infrequent shortage of vaccines. 14% work for less than 6 hours a day. Findings of this report unmask a bitter truth: residents of slums/underserved areas are living in extremely vulnerable and despicable conditions. Their housing structures are dilapidated and weak and access to adequate water and sanitation facilities is meager at best. Adequate channels of waste management system are absent from such areas and low immunity levels among residents are common place with the probability of disease outbreaks being exceptionally high. Keeping in view these reprehensible conditions, it is of utmost importance that realistic micro planning of vaccinators, Community-Based Volunteers (CBVs) and LHWs is done so that adequate demand for health and EPI facilities can be generated. The holistic profiles of slums/underserved areas call for such a well-integrated delivery model so that the prevalent issues can be suitably addressed.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Survival is More Important than Preventive Health Care
Bilo is Aged 13 months, is not yet aware about the conditions in which he is born and would be raised into. Bilo is a resident of Rimsha colony, a slum situated in H-9 sector, Islamabad. His father, Bagha, is a daily wage worker. Bilo has two other siblings, a brother and a sister. This family of five lives in a one room tented house where the toilet is not available. The family has high debt burden. Bilo’s mother is a 23 years old illiterate woman who is unaware about the working of Lady Health Workers in her area. She is not aware of routine immunization and does not believe in preventive healthcare.
As per Bilo’s mother! “when you do not have food, you do not worry about something as lavish as preventive healthcare”.
She quotes how she has only seen the children of her neighbors being suffering from temperature after they receive a vaccination. She comments that they have almost little to no resources to spend on healthcare in case Bilo falls sick due to a vaccination. Moreover, she highlights how taking her child to a health center, which is a few kilometers away, is an ordeal for her and family. It is due to the irrational fear of Bilo’s mother and the prevailing socio-economic conditions of the household, that Bilo has not yet received even one routine vaccination.

Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Global Context The World Population Growth index indicates that the current population of the world is 7.7 billion, with an annual growth rate of 1.08%1. The growth in world population has led to urbanization, where the people from rural areas are migrating towards urban areas for better economic opportunities. In 2014, over half of the population of the world (54%) was residing in the urban areas2. This proportion is expected to increase to 66% by 2050, adding an additional 2.5 billion dwellers to the urban areas, of whom around 90% will be in the urban areas of Africa and Asia3. In developing countries of these areas, the migration from rural to urban areas is mostly more-than-proportionate, leading to the development of unplanned settlements in and around cities, identified and known as “slums”. The United Nations Habitat defines “slums” as the informal settlements with high population density, poor living conditions and weak infrastructural provisions (United Nations (UN), 2016)4.
According to a study conducted on “Size distributions of slums across the globe”, around 900 million people reside in the slum areas worldwide, a number which is expected to double by 2030 (Friesen, Taubenbock & Wurm, 2019). These slums are mainly concentrated in the cities of the Global South; where the world’s largest slum regions include Khayeltisha Cape Town in South Africa; Kibera, Nairobi in Kenya; Dharavi, Mumbai in India; Orangi Town Karachi in Pakistan; Neza-Chalco-Itza and Mexico City in Mexico. As per the UN statistics of 2014, around one billion of slum dwellers are residents of the developing world (Young, 2015)5. Out of this, the percentage ratio of urban population as slum-dwellers has been lowest for Northern Africa (11.1%) and highest for Sub-Saharan Africa (55.2%), (Figure 1). South Asia stands at second highest with 30.7% of its population
living in slums as per the statistics of 2014, (UN, 2015)6. World Bank (2014) has further conducted a trend analysis on urban slum population for Brazil, China, India and Nigeria (Figure 2). The data indicates that in 1990 the percentage share of population living in slums was drastically higher for all the four countries when compared to the year 2014 (Ritchie & Roser, 2018)7. India decreased its slum population the most by 31% in the last 24 years. However, the number of slums present in India and other countries is still significant and their presence cannot be
ignored.

The comparison of these countries with Pakistan reveals that, Pakistan lists much lower in the number of urban slum settlements. However, when compared on the parameter of population growth between 1990 and 2014, it has been discovered that Pakistan has shown an increase in population growth for slums from nearly 16.79 million in 1990 to around 32.34 million in 2014 (Our World in Data, 2014). The conditions of slums in Pakistan in terms of population growth, health and immunization and social problems have been further investigated from the secondary data sources hereafter. 1.2 National Context 1.2.1 Population Growth The current estimated population of Pakistan is 212 Million8, making it the 5th most populous country of the world. According to the UN Population estimations, the population of Pakistan will reach to 242 Million by 20259. According to the estimation of UN for 2014, the slum population was 32 Million in urban areas of Pakistan10. Currently, 36.9% of the total population of Pakistan makes up urban population, which is expected to increase to 50.2% by 205011. The urban population is growing at the rate of 3% annually (Shaikh & Nabi, 2017). It is expected that the cities of Pakistan will accommodate 250 million people by the year 203012. The rapid urbanization can be seen in the increase of population of 8 largest cities of Pakistan in which 12.9 Million population (census 1998) has increased to 24.3 Million (census 2017). Highest population increase is noticed in Lahore where population increased from 5 Million to 11 Million. Smallest cities like Quetta and Islamabad also shows double population growth. Considering the growth rate of urban population of present day, the slum population is likely to increase even further by 2030 in absence of proper urban planning1314. To improve the living conditions of these settlements and to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, an improvement in the health and socioeconomic conditions of the slum-dwellers is required. However, a better understanding of the individual slum environment and the factors contributing to poor health conditions is essential to be taken into account to maintain a balance between the demand and supply of health services for the slum-dwellers. The social inequities are also to be evaluated to target the areas of improvement for slum-dwellers. 1.2.2 Status of Health Studies on the levels of immunization coverage in Pakistan reveals that the coverage has remained lower15 for urban poor, including slum residents, when compared to rural poor16. Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) for 2018 indicates that the 66% of children age 12-23 months have received all basic vaccinations. The coverage data is bifurcated by

urban and rural areas, province-wise but it does not specifically highlight the disparities of the slum areas in these provinces. However, marginalization, both ethnic and economic, low awareness level including carelessness of caregivers and inaccessibility to the healthcare centers have been identified as the major reasons for low immunization coverage in the slums17. Some of the interventions like awareness programmes, community engagements, vaccination campaigns and medicine coupon incentives have yielded results in Pakistan to overcome health related issues of slums, (Crocker-Buque, Mindra, Duncan & Mounier-Jack, 2017). 1.3 Provincial Context 1.3.1 Population & Status of Health in Punjab According to Pakistan Economic Survey (2018-19), Punjab is the most populous province of Pakistan and accounts for 110 Million of population for the year 201718. The second largest city of Pakistan, and the capital of Punjab Lahore, has roughly 30% of the settlements as slums (Abubakar, 2016)19. The slums of Lahore are home to an estimated population of 1.7 million people (National Report of Pakistan for Habitat III, 2015). The proportion of slum population in Lahore has reached the upper limit threshold of the city’s total population. It has a population density of 400 persons/km (National Report of Pakistan for Habitat III, 2015). In case of the slums of Faisalabad, the number of slum-dwelling units ranges from 42 to 2,851 (Ahmed, Mustafa & Khan, 2015)20. Lahore has approximately 308 informal settlements or slums (National Report of Pakistan for Habitat III, 2015)21. Faisalabad ranks as the third most populous city of Pakistan and it is a home to 104 slums (Ahmed, Mustafa & Khan, 2015)22. A study conducted on 104 slums of Faisalabad indicates that 84% of the children are vaccinated and have received any dose of vaccine; whereas, 3.3% of the children are not vaccinated. On the other hand, 12% of the respondents are without any knowledge of vaccination22. Another study is conducted on the slums of Bahawalpur where out of the 306 children surveyed, only 26% have the vaccination cards. The highest coverage is for BCG vaccine. First dose against measles is received by as many as 84% of the children; whereas, second dose is received by only 42% of the children. 59% mothers of the children who have completed their vaccination schedule are educated over intermediate level23. 1.3.2 Population & Status of Health in Sindh Sindh is situated in the southeast of the country and is one of the four provinces of Pakistan. By area, it is the third largest province of the country and is second largest in terms of population. Sindh is the most urbanized province of Pakistan with around 52% population residing in the urban areas (Noh, 2018)24. According to 2017 Census of Pakistan, the population of the Sindh province is 47.89 million; whereas Karachi has a population of 14.9 million, which is projected to increase to 18.7 million by 2025 (Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, 2017)25. The population density for the city of Karachi is approximately 6,000 people per square kilometer. In the year 2016, UN ranked Karachi as the 12th top megacity by size in the world, the number which is expected to

rise to 7th by 2030 (Sparkman, 2018)26. Hyderabad, on the other hand is the fourth-largest city in Pakistan with the population of 1.73 million. Hyderabad is the second most urbanized city of Sindh with around 80% of the people living in the cities27. Karachi and Hyderabad are key focus areas when it comes to unplanned urbanization and are the home to around 1,300 slums. About 70% of these slums are situated in 18 towns of Karachi, whereas, the remaining 25-30% slums are located in four towns of Hyderabad28. According to a detailed study conducted on “Challenges and patterns of seeking primary healthcare in slums of Karachi: A disaster lurking in urban shadows” it has been highlighted that there are more than 600 slums in Karachi. Karachi is also a home to the largest slum in Asia i.e. Orangi Town with the estimated population of 2.4 Million29. The MICS survey of 2014 for the Sindh province reveals that the vaccination coverage for Measles 1 in Karachi was 65.3%; whereas, it was 62.9% for Hyderabad. According to the study of Aleemi and Khalique (2018), the coverage rates are even lower for urban slums30. The study formulates that in the sample population of 400 people from 8 slums of Karachi, only 11.7% of the respondents reported the visits by Lady Health Workers (LHWs). The regular visits of LHWs in the slum communities is important because these health workers educate and promote healthy behavior and provide basic curative healthcare services. In the slum areas, where the level of education and awareness is already low, the absence of LHWs is an alarming sign, which demands immediate attention. The study further formulates that 75% of the sample population is not vaccinated for hepatitis and tetanus against 23% of the population which has received vaccination31. The reasons for no vaccination are reported to be inaccessibility, unawareness, cost and family belief system. The slums are prone to communicable diseases due to unhygienic living conditions and poor waste disposal system and therefore attention needs to be paid to improving coverage rates for routine immunization. According to the recent findings of Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) for Polio in Sindh, the vaccination coverage demands special attention in the province since 6 new cases of polio are reported in the province, out of which 3 have occurred in Karachi, whereas, two were present in Hyderabad32. Systematic approach to healthcare and vaccination coverage is required to solve the healthcare related problems of the province. 1.3.3 Population & Status of Health in Balochistan Quetta is the largest City and the Provincial Capital of Balochistan, Pakistan. The city shars its boundaries with Pishin district in the north, Ziarat in the East, Mastung in the South and Afghanistan in the West. The city is located near the Bolan Pass, which is among one of the major gateways from Central Asia to South Asia. The City is known as the “Fruit Garden of Pakistan” due to various fruit orchids in and around the city. As per the National Census of 2017, the population of Quetta City is One Million and the population of Quetta District is Two Million. Quetta is the most urbanized city of Balochistan and hosts 29% of all urban population of the province33. Though Balochistan is the largest province by area, the population of the province is the lowest at 7.7 million and is thinly dispersed around the province. The Quetta city accommodates multiple ethnic groups including Pashtuns, Baloch, Brahvi, Hazara and Punjabi and is enriched with cultural and language diversity. The multi-dimensional poverty at headcount for Quetta stands at 46% and the Average Intensity of Deprivation is 46%,

thus making poverty rate in Quetta the highest among all provincial capitals of Pakistan34. Furthermore, about 17% of the population is living below poverty line in this city35. The literacy rate stands at 66% in Quetta city, however, there is a noticeable difference between literacy rates, and female literacy stands at 83%36. Major challenges of Quetta city are exponential growth-rate, lack of resources and city planning for managing a large influx of economic migrants and those affected by natural disasters or conflict. Poor access to health and Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) services, safe water and almost non-existent drainage system also pose serious health risks as cited by different researchers. The housing structures accommodating over 800,000 residents of Quetta lack the facilities and infrastructure for adequate drainage and sanitation37. While the situation of disposal and drainage of wastewater in the city remains poor, drainage system in the slums is almost non-existent 38. The provision of safe water is available to only 39% of the households39. Water is found to be scarce due to which a majority of residents end up paying private vendors for their water-supply40. To assess the quality of consumable water, a study was conducted in 16 different locations of Quetta, which revealed high contamination in tap water owed to the seepage and leakage of the water supply and sewer lines41. Furthermore, fecal contamination of drinking water is known to cause 30% of all diseases42. There are 47 identified slum areas as per the records of the Katchi Abadi Directorate43, although the actual numbers are higher than this. These slums are mostly accompanied by temporary houses (mud houses) with substandard basic and health facilities44. The slum areas are highly populated with poor or no infrastructure45. The slum dwellers of Quetta lack accessibility to basic resources and are living far beyond the standards laid down by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Comprehensive Multi Year Plan (cMYP) Balochistan 2014-2018 depicts acute shortage of health personnel in Quetta46. To address the health needs, there are 07 health programmes that are running in Quetta city, namely TB (Tuberculosis) Control Programme, Malaria Control Programme, Hepatitis Prevention Control Programme, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency) Control Programme, National Programme on Family Planning and Primary Healthcare and National, Maternal, Newborn & Child Healthcare Programme47. Among the most common diseases reported by the health facilities are Respiratory Tract Infections, Gastrointestinal, Urinary Tract Infection and Diarrhea/ Dysentery, whereas other communicable diseases include Malaria, Meningitis, Fever and Scabies48. In terms of immunization, the Pakistan Social Living Measurement Survey (PSLM) for the year 2014-2015 reveals 65% of children aged 12-23 months in Quetta (recorded both by record ad recall) have received all basic vaccination, with the low coverage rates of 52% in rural areas and comparatively high rates of 71% in urban areas. Although 94% of the children in Quetta have received at least one vaccination, there are marked differences in the immunization status of first and third doses of DPT, Polio and Hepatitis B. About 28.5% children of age 12-23 months have

received their first dose of BCG, while 54.2% and 13% have received doses of Polio and Hepatitis B vaccines respectively and 18% have received vaccination for measles. Balochistan Comprehensive Development Strategy (2013-2020) reveals that the health sector of the province has extremely underperformed in the last decade. The poor performance has been attributed to financial deficit of the province. The detailed evaluation of the health sector of the province indicates that the biggest challenge faced by the province is related to primary and preventive healthcare specifically in the context of mother and childcare. The study indicates that only 26% of the deliveries of the mothers in the province take place at designated health facilities, a figure 10% lower than the rest of the provinces. In the rural areas of Balochistan, over 80% deliveries by mothers take place at home and by untrained attendants increasing the risk of mother and child mortality. The sparsely populated and sparsely developed province contributes to the problems of access to health facilities. The conditions of prenatal and postnatal care delivery are also quite dismal for the province of Balochistan. Urban areas of Balochistan reveal only 55% cases of prenatal consultation, whereas, this figures drops further in the urban slums and for rural areas. The postnatal care reception is also poor for the province and only 31% of pregnant women in the province receive Tetanus Toxoid injections. Pertaining to these alarming statistics, the PDHS 2006-2007 reveals that the MMR (Mother Mortality Rate) was highest for Balochistan among four provinces at 785 maternal deaths per 100,000 births. According to the MICS report of 2010, the Infant Mortality Rate of Balochistan is also the highest among all the other provinces of the country. IMR is reported to be 89 per 1000 live births against the MDG targets of 52 per 1000 births. As per the PSLM results of 2010-2011 the overall immunization coverage rate for Balochistan is only 45% for the children under 5 years of age when compared to Punjab (86%), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (77%) and Sindh (67%). When checked for BCG coverage of the province, the results reveal that the coverage for 12-23 months of children is only 35%, Polio 1 has been administered to 61% of the children, a figure that dipped to 46% for Polio 3 (MICS, 2010). Recently polio epidemic has reemerged in Pakistan. As per the report by Independent Monitoring Board of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, for Balochistan, the majority of the cases for Balochistan occur in three major areas: Pishin, Killa Abdullah and Quetta. As for the status on child health, it is reported that for every 1,000 live births, 59 babies do not survive up to their first birthday and another 12 die before reaching the age of 5 years49. The prevalence of water-borne disease indicates 44% of the households are affected by Diarrhea, 25% by Gastrointestinal (GI), 21% by Cholera, 5% by Typhoid and 3% by other common diseases50. 1.3.4 Population & Status of Health in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa According to the 2017 Census of Pakistan, the population of Peshawar is 1.97 million distributed into four towns, which are further distributed into 79 Union Councils (UCs). With the highest annual growth rate of 4% in the province, the city has seen a rapid increase in population, with huge influx of Afghan refugees. According to estimates out of 80% of the Afghan refugees living in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, 60% resides in Peshawar valley (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) 2012). Displaced populations having low financial resources tend to settle in and around the city in squatter settlements (Katchi Abadis). Besides Afghan refugees being the main reason of slum formation in Peshawar, the floods of 2005 made 3.5 million homeless, causing destruction of more than 600,152 houses (UN-Habitat-III, 2015)51.

A study of UN-Habitat52, identified 18 informal settlements in Peshawar city. It constitutes about 15% of the total population of Peshawar with the estimated population of 250,00053, although the actual number of people living in slums are higher than this54. As some of the studies report that slums and squatter settlements almost constitute 50-60% of the city.55 Unhygienic living condition, open defecation and lack of access to clean drinking water are a root cause of diarrheal diseases and together contribute to about 1.5 billion deaths of children below 5 years of age (UN 2007). Slums are considered to be the incubator and transmitter of infectious diseases. Tuberculosis is also reportedly prevalent in congested and densely populated slums, malaria diarrhea and respiratory infections are common among slum dwellers and children are more exposed to these diseases (Fernando 2010). With the residents living in extremely poor living conditions, the incidents of disease remain high in Peshawar. A study conducted by Urban Unit Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the selected slums of Peshawar revealed 74% of the frequently occurring diseases are linked to unhygienic living conditions. It was also revealed that 72% of these diseases were found in children. For health services, 74% of the residents use public health facilities while 30% seek services from private health care units. A study on measles vaccination reported immunization coverage of 58% in children of age 1-2 years in Peshawar with no major gender disparity56. For better understanding of the reasons for its low prevalence, this study also revealed mother’s education as a strong factor affecting the vaccination coverage, which was found to be low for children with illiterate mothers (36%) and considerably higher (83%) for children having literate mothers. Despite all the factors, levels of immunization in slums of Pakistan have remained low57. The main cause of low levels of immunization is lack of awareness and proper policies. Lack of mother’s education regarding child’s health and diseases like measles, polio, TB, typhoid, lead to high child mortality rates58. Hence maternal knowledge is equally important in preventing children from diseases (National Disaster Consortium (NDC), 2019)59. Interventions like awareness programs, community engagements, and vaccination campaigns, medicine coupon incentives are some of the initiatives taken by Government of Pakistan to overcome health issues of slums (Crocker-Buque, Mindra, Duncan & Mounier-Jack, 2017). 1.3.5 Population & Status of Health in Islamabad Islamabad is the federal capital of Pakistan and is located within the federal Islamabad Capital Territory. According to World Population Review, the population of Islamabad is 1,095,06460. The trend analysis for population growth for the city reveals that by 2020, the city population will be almost 1.7 million and it is expected to exceed 2.2 million by the year 2030 (Review, 2019). Islamabad has also seen a proliferation in its slum development in the last two decades. About 20 years ago, there were only 12 slums in and around the city; whereas, the number is now at more than 4261. The areas in and around Sihala, Tarnol, Rawal Dam, Bani Gala, Barakahu and Golra have seen an evident surge in the population and the number of slums62. Analysis of the rapid urban development in Islamabad further reveals that the expansion of new slums, along

with the old ones are appearing in the sectors like I-12 and I-14, which will further stress the already dwindling natural resources of the city. It has been estimated that more than 0.1 million people reside in more than two dozen slums situated around sectors G-7, H-9, F-6, F-7, I-11 and I-1263. Additionally, a study by (Leadership for Environment and Development (LEAD)) refers to the three slums of Islamabad named, Chora Stop Slum, Akram Gill Colony, and Mera Jaffar Slum64 with the approximate population as 5,000, 2,000 and 1,000 respectively. It is significant to note that a dozen of these slums are legally occupied by their inhabitants and are given ‘ownership’ rights by the courts65. However, everyday amenities, including clean water and sanitation, gas and electricity are unavailable to many of them. Absence of basic facilities has led to poor health conditions, social and economic disparities in these slums. According to PDHS (2017-18), all basic vaccinations are provided to 67.8% residents of Islamabad66. A study on the reasons of incomplete vaccination in children of Islamabad, sampled 803 children, of which 70.6% were completely vaccinated, 4.1% had ongoing status on vaccination, another 4.4% were partially vaccinated; whereas, 20.7% had never been vaccinated67 (zero dose). Most of the zero-dose children had uneducated parents, or those who had received education up-to primary level only. 15.4% of the parents were unaware about the need for vaccination or about the existing Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI). 84.3% of the parents were not acquainted about the existence of vaccinators in their area. 64.7% of the parents of zero-dose children report long waiting hours, ranging between 04-05 hours, as the major reason for not vaccinating their children. 55.3% of the parents were apprehensive of the long distance to the health facility68. Around 40% of the parents of zero-dose children had trust issues when it comes to vaccination or vaccinator; whereas 38% reported the regular absence of vaccinator from their health facility69. The findings of the study indicate that an improvement is needed in the provision of vaccination facilities so that they are more accessible to the underprivileged residents of slums. Moreover, awareness about the need for vaccination in the prevailing unhygienic living conditions of slums is essential for the urban poor. 1.4 Objectives The general objective of this study was to prepare the in-depth profiling of slums and underserved areas located within the 8 largest cities located in three provinces and Islamabad, the federal capital, of Pakistan. The specific objectives of this study were to: a. To collect the socio-demographic information of the residents of slums and underserved
areas b. To assess the fixed EPI facilities located in the slums and underserved areas c. To compile the data of health and EPI recourses at the union councils level d. To determine the childhood immunization coverage rates in the slums and underserved
areas 1.5 Rationale The review of literature reveals that the data on housing infrastructures, water and sanitation practices and immunization status of children in slum areas is limited. Therefore, this study was designed and conducted for the following reasons:

There is no comprehensive report or tangible dataset available specifically for
slums/underserved areas. The studies are carried out in one specific slum or a few sampled
slums and are not a true representation of inequities prevalent in all slums. Moreover,
existing studies rely on outdated or nationally non-representative datasets, bringing the
validity of research in question;
The cities are growing very fast and are most popular for urban migration. Systematically collected scientific data on geographical scale, locations and population of slums is not only essential to inform policy-makers for needed interventions. ;
The available literature does not have comprehensive information about the scale and situation of slums/ underserved areas;
A comprehensive list and profile of slums is not available which would inform planners about the geographical scale, locations and population of slums;
Additionally, it is not clear whether people living in slums which are not considered legal/registered/regularized in the records of relevant public departments were included in the National Census or not. The current resource allocations and provision of public services is decided according to the available information hence do not cater slums which are not recognised officially;
No secondary dataset is available which provides a complete picture of the status of health and immunization practices in slums and underserved areas. Although some studies mention a few reasons for zero-dose and unimmunized children, an extensive approach on the pattern of coverage survey has not been adopted by any of the studies to understand the reasons for under-immunization. An extensive understanding of slum lifestyle and their socioeconomic conditions is to be undertaken to draft and implement better immunization-related policies;
Coverage surveys have never been undertaken in slums hence status of immunization was never known for realistic planning and resource allocation.
The micro plans of vaccinators and LHWs are prepared based on targets only and do not include specific coverage of slums. The comprehensive data on slums/underserved areas would help in setting up realistic targets for slums/underserved areas.
Action plans for improvement of vaccination and general health conditions in slums/underserved areas would become possible.
There is little or no data available on the role of private and not-for-profit sector on the kind of interventions undertaken by these sectors for the urban poor. The potential for these sectors to provide for the urban poor has not yet been explored.

Chapter 2 Methodology
Vaccination Vs Whole Day’s Wages
Nisha lives in Kachi Abadi (unorganized settlements) of Laasi Para in Bin Qasim of District Malir of Karachi City. She has 6 siblings including 3 elder brother and 3 elder sisters. Her father is a daily wage worker. Daily wage income forces family to live hand to mouth and sometime it becomes very difficult to have three times meal. The household structure is very shabby. 9 members lives in one small room using one toilet. Available public water supply lines in their locality remains dry for whole month except 2 days for few hours. To meet their daily needs, they acquire water from the small communal water tank that comes at the street corner. Nisha’s mother cannot read and write and spend most of her time at home taking care of children. She does not have any knowledge about vaccination and have not vaccinated any of her child. At the time of survey, Nisha was one and a half years old but still was not been vaccinated for any dose. With a very small age gap among 7 children, Nisha’s mother explains:
“It is very difficult to find time to go out of home. My husband takes care of responsibilities outside home. The vaccination facility is situated at the distance from our place and it cost extra time and money to go outside of the area only for vaccination. And this is not one time
activity and required many visits as well. My husband does not allow to go outside home alone and he cannot find time to take kids for vaccination by himself as it cost the loss of whole day
wage.”

Chapter 2: Methodology
2 Methodology This chapter describes the detailed methodology adopted for the profiling of slums / underserved areas. This methodology was designed in close consultation with the UNICEF Pakistan Country Office, UNICEF Pakistan Field Office and Provincial Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) Cell. The process was made participatory and engaging for having community driven perspectives. Triangulation, validation and supportive monitoring were adopted as the key principles and formed the backbone of the entire process. The methodology was finalized according to the security situation and local context.
2.1 Study Design
This was a cross-sectional study undertaken to prepare the in-depth profiling of slums / underserved areas. The following three key activities were conducted for the purpose of this study (Figure 4).
2.2 Study Sites
The study was conducted in the slums / underserved areas located in the city and its periphery. The administrative structure of Pakistan distributes the country into four provinces and Islamabad, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan as federally administered areas. The provinces are further distributed into districts. Each district is distributed into multiple towns (tehsils), which are further distributed into union councils. Each union council has 5 to 15 villages/areas depending on the context and rural/urban settings in each province. Previously, the performance of the country used to be assessed either at the provincial level and or at the district level. Gradually it has been realized that the performance needs to be monitored at the administrative unit level, which is union council. Each union council has a union council office, which is headed by the Secretary. The Secretary gets certain resources for the development of villages/areas for that particular union council. The resources of each union council have direct correlations with the performance outputs of that particular union council.
2.3 Study Duration
This study was conducted between 2018 and 2019 with different intervals. The total span of the study was Nine Months.

2.5 Sampling Procedures and Sample Size Activities 1: In-depth profiling of slums and underserved areas Slums/underserved areas form a major portion of the largest cities’ population. Consolidated information about the names, addresses and population sizes of slum / underserved areas were not available for realistic planning and extension of the health and EPI services. In order to identify the locations and scale of slums/underserved areas, to know the approximate size of target population and to prepare basic characteristics of these locations, their holistic profiles were prepared. Step 1: Desk Research: For the purpose of this activity, initially desk research were carried out by the study team. The purpose was to understand the different dynamics of the urban poor living in the five largest cities of Pakistan. These conditions were assessed by gathering the literature retrieved from search engines on internet, academic research journals, and policy papers on slums / underserved areas Step 2: Verification of the Study Areas: As there was no data (i.e. listing) available on the slums / underserved areas, the study team visited and physically verified these areas. Step 3: Interactive Group Discussions: Once these areas were verified and listed by the study team, the process of collecting socio-demographic information of the residents of slums and underserved areas were started through interactive group discussions. The study team conducted one group discussion from each union council located in the slums and underserved areas. Sampling Method: A convenience sampling method was used for the purpose of interactive group discussions among the residents of slums and underserved areas. This was done because of the following three key reasons: A. There were no lists or records of the households. The lists of households prepared by
Community Based Volunteers (CBVs) did not differentiate between the slums and non-slums areas
B. The security situations and general hostility as well as unwillingness to share information rendered a simple random sampling nearly improbable
C. Considered to be close knit communities, slums represent wide information sharing networks. Therefore estimates by these informants were deemed to be close to accurate through cross-validation
Sample Size: One group discussion was conducted in each slum or underserved area. 3 to 5 respondents were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria for the interactive group discussions. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: Following criteria were designed and adopted for the purpose of identifying the respondents for these interactive group discussions.
15
Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria
A. Resident of either slum or underserved area which was to be profiled
A. Not the resident of either slum or underserved area which was to be profiled
B. Have been living there for more than two years B. Have been living there for less than two years
C. Have knowledge about physical infrastructure and other facilities of that particular area
C. No knowledge about the physical infrastructure and other facilities available in the area
Activities 2: Assess the Fixed EPI Facilities The overall objectives of the assessment of fixed EPI facilities were to know the strengths and weaknesses of the service delivery system.
Step 1: Obtaining the list of fixed EPI facilities: The study team obtained the list of all fixed EPI facilities from the department of health authorities.
Step 2: Assessment of fixed EPI facilities: Once the lists were obtained, fixed EPI facilities were physically visited by the study team for assessment.
No sampling method was used for this activity. All listed fixed EPI facilities (i.e. 228) were physically visited and assessed by the study team.
Activities 3: Compile the Health & EPI Resources Data Step 1: Obtaining data of health and EPI resources: The data of health and EPI resources available at the union council’s level were collected from the department of health. The study team used ‘Questionnaire for District or Town Health Office’ for this purpose.
Step 2: Triangulation of Data: This data was triangulated with the information collected from the residents of slums and underserved areas through interactive group discussions (activity 1).
No sampling method was used and data on the key variables (section 2.6) were collected by the study team through study instrument.

2.7 Data Collection Instruments
The data collection instruments were designed by the senior investigators and finalized in consultation with the UNICEF Pakistan officials. The instruments were pre-tested in order to ensure the consistency, appropriateness of language and sequencing of the questions. Based on the feedback from the pre-testing, the instruments were modified and rephrased, where necessary. These data collection instruments were not only translated into local languages but also culturally adopted, where necessary. All study instruments are attached in annexures. 2.8 Operational Definitions The operational definitions were defined based on the desk reviews as well as discussions with the health authorities.
16
2.8.1 Slums The definition of slums was reviewed from UN Habitat, Kachi Abadi Cell, Town Municipal Offices and Offices of Development Authority. Slums are a contiguous settlement where the inhabitants are characterized as having inadequate housing and basic services. A slum is often not recognized and addressed by the public authorities as an integral or equal part of the city. According to UN Habitat, the generic definition of a slum suggests that it is:
...a contiguous settlement where the inhabitants are characterized as having inadequate housing and basic services. A slum is often not recognized and addressed by the public authorities as an integral or equal part of the city (UN Habitat, 2010, p. 1370).
Similarly, a slum household is defined as a group of individuals who live under the same roof that lacks one or more71 of the following conditions:
Limited access to improved water and sanitation
Weak housing structures
Insufficient living area
Uncertain about legal ownership of the residential area
2.8.2 Peri-Urban Slums Slums located at the periphery of urban areas that join the borders of cities and rural areas.
2.8.3 Legal Status Concerned government department recognizes slums as either registered or regularized officially. Documentary evidence such as electricity bill or Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) shows the address.

2.9 Data Analysis Techniques Systematic approach was adopted for cleaning, and verification and further entering of data in excel sheets as per the variables defined for this study. The data was analyzed by the Data Manager in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Statistics and Data (STATA). The processed data is interpreted through tabular and graphical presentation required for quantitative analysis. The data of slums was segregated in the following categories.
Table 4: Categories of slums data
Categories Size Housing Structure
Legal Status
Facilities Location
Category A More than 60 households
Mostly Kacha/mud made/Tented
Mostly illegal
No solid/liquid waste management system No government water supply
Mostly under the bridge, near river, railway station and any empty land within the city
Category B Less than 60 households
Mostly Kacha/mud made/Tented
Mostly Illegal
No solid/liquid waste management system No government water supply
Surrounded by big houses
Category C More than 60 households
Mostly Pacca/ Plastered
Mostly legal
Mostly garbage management system and drains exist
Mostly upgraded from slums or housing societies or extension of towns
Category D More than 100 households
Mostly un-plastered
Mostly legal
No solid/liquid waste management system No government water supply
Originally rural area but gradually became part of the city hence located at the periphery of the city
2.10 Monitoring Mechanism For the purpose of this study, timely review and rigorous monitoring system was put in place to ensure there were no detractions. This included engagement of a full-time team dedicated to holding surveys and field visits, timely submission of data, physical verification and further cleaning process of the data, and assignment for each team member. The monitoring ensured the following:
Verification of data either through telephonic correspondence or physical on-field visits Supportive supervision and daily review of field performance Trouble shooting in case of problems Review of survey forms to ensure that no information was missed or fake or contradictory
2.11 Study Team & Training A three-tiered teams were engaged in in-depth profiling of slums and underserved areas, assessment of fixed EPI facilities in slums and underserved areas and compilation of health and EPI resources data of union councils.
The first tier of team comprised of a team leader, survey supervisors and data collectors. The team leader provided overall guidelines and end-to-end management of the process, the supervisors extended supportive supervision and monitoring of the data collection and ensured quality standards while surveyors collected the data from the field through physical visits, group discussions and individual interviews.
The 2nd tier of the team consisted of data validation, cleaning, entry and analysis.
The 3rd tier of the team comprised report writers responsible for undertaking desk researches and interpreting the results in an effective manner.
The training of study teams was conducted by the professionals prior to commencing data collection activities that includes study objectives, basic concepts on healthcare and immunization services, data collection, ethical considerations as well as confidentiality. In addition, they were trained on data entry processes (i.e. validation and cleaning before their final consolidation).

Chapter 3: Profile of Slums/Underserved Areas
Slums/Underserved areas form a major portion of the largest cities’ population. Consolidated information about names, addresses and population sizes of these areas are unavailable for realistic planning and extension of health and EPI services. In order to identify the locations and scale of slums/underserved areas, to know the approximate size of target population and to prepare basic characteristics of these locations, their holistic profiles are being prepared. This chapter presents the profile of slums/underserved areas of 8 largest cities located in three provinces and Islamabad, the federal capital, of Pakistan. The profiles are presented around the following five broader categories: 3.1 Slums/Underserved Areas 3.1.1 Union Councils with/without Slums/Underserved Areas 3.1.2 Number of Slums/Underserved Areas 3.1.3 Timelines of Existence 3.1.4 Legal Status 3.2 Demography 3.2.1 Population 3.2.2 Types of Residents 3.3 Health Resources 3.3.1 Health Facilities 3.3.2 EPI Facilities 3.3.3 Outreach Vaccination 3.3.4 Health Workers 3.3.5 Emergency Health Services 3.4 Infrastructure 3.4.1 Housing Structures 3.4.2 Household Toilets 3.4.3 Domestic Water 3.4.4 Waste Management 3.5 Social Welfare 3.5.1 Schools 3.5.2 Civil Society Organizations 3.5.3 Informal Groups 3.5.4 Social Welfare Schemes
3.1 Slums/Underserved Areas
3.1.1 Union Councils with/without Slums/Underserved The 08 cities are sub-divided into 31 towns, which are further divided into 626 UCs. 76% Union Councils house 3114 slums/underserved areas. These 76% UCs house a greater number of slums (1779) compared to underserved areas (1335). Highest percentage of spread of slums/underserved areas across UCs is found in Gujranwala (91%). The lowest spread of slums/underserved areas across UCs is found in Quetta (44%). Around 70% UCs house slums/underserved areas in remaining cities.

3.1.2 Slums/Underserved Areas Overall, there are 1779 slums and 1335 underserved areas located in 478 UCs. The highest number of slums is found in Peshawar (550) followed by Lahore (356) and Quetta (281). While the number of underserved areas is highest in Lahore (637) and Faisalabad (297). The lowest number of slums/underserved areas is found in Islamabad. The greater number of slums/underserved does not refer to greater number of population size. The sizes of slums vary across each city hence these numbers need to be analysed according to their population sizes (Annex 4 Table 4).
3.1.3 Timelines of Existence Overall, the emergence of slums has been lowest before 1950s (24%) and after 1991 (18%). The growth of slums is highest during 1950 to 1990 (58%) at a similar pace for all 08 cities. The lowest growth during 1950s to 1990s is found in Peshawar (48%). The highest growth of slums before 1990s is found in Islamabad (72%) and Faisalabad (65%). The growth of slums during 1950s to 1990s could be because of industrial growth or decline of agricultural profits. The lowest growth of slums after 1991 is seen in Peshawar where percentage of slum growth drops from 48% to only 9%. 3.1.4 Legal Status 36% slums are not registered72 with highest unregistered slums in Quetta (57%), Islamabad (57%) and Peshawar (50%). In Punjab, the percentage varies across cities, as Gujranwala (43%) has the highest percentage of unregistered slums. whereas, they are lowest for Faisalabad (11%), Multan (17%) and Lahore (18%). The registration status of slums determines the eligibility to have resource allocation for having public services such as health, education, water and sanitation etc. The variation in the status of registration reflects the regularization of slums across different cities.
72 Registration status is reported against address mentioned on electricity bill and CNIC

3.2 Demography 3.2.1 Population There are approximately 11.9 Million people living in slums/underserved areas, which is about 49% of the total population (24.3 Million)73 of the 8 cities surveyed. The higher population share resides in underserved areas as compared to slums. The largest population size in slums/underserved areas is found in Lahore (4.6 Million) followed by slums/underserved areas of Peshawar (1.5 Million). The lowest population size is found in slums/underserved areas of Islamabad (0.37 Million). Overall, approximate population of children aged 0-11 months74 residing in slums/underserved areas is 0.38 Million. City wise comparison reflects highest number of target population resides in Lahore followed by Peshawar. Lowest number of target population resides in Islamabad, Quetta and Multan. The population of children under 5 75 years of age residing in slums/underserved area is 2 Million. With the similar trends, the highest number of children under 5 years of age is found in Lahore followed by Peshawar. The lowest number of children under 5 years of age is found in Islamabad. The approximate population of child bearing age women76 residing in slums/underserved areas of 8 largest cities of Pakistan is 2.6 Million. Slums/Underserved areas of Lahore stand first with the highest concentration of population of child bearing age women. Slums/Underserved areas of Islamabad share merely 3% of the total population residing in slums/underserved areas.

3.3.5 Emergency Health Services On the whole, 14% slums/underserved areas are unaware of 1122 services. High percentage (35%) of residents of slums/underserved areas of Islamabad is unaware of 1122 service. Within the 5 cities of Punjab, a very negligible percentage of slums/underserved areas of Multan (1%), Faisalabad (6%) and Gujranwala (6%) report unawareness about 1122 services. 100% slums/underserved areas of Rawalpindi report about the awareness of 1122 services.79 As compared to 1122 emergency services, a stark contrast can be observed with respect to unawareness of 1038 services where in nearly all cities surveyed, the percentages are close to, if not in actuality, a full 100%. Overall (97%) slums/underserved areas are unaware of 1038 service. No slum or underserved area in Rawalpindi and Multan are aware of 1038 services. A negligible percentage of slums/underserved areas report their awareness of 1038 service in Gujranwala (1%), Faisalabad (3%) and Lahore (5%). Only 14% slums/underserved areas of Islamabad report about the awareness of 1038 services.

The only exception is Quetta where 6% housing structures of underserved areas are found without toilets. 3.4.2b Types of Toilets Overall 51% housing structures have open pit/traditional toilets. Housing structures of almost an equal percentage of slums/ underserved areas have open pit/traditional toilets. Highest percentage of open pit/traditional toilets is found in Quetta (87%) followed by Peshawar (62%). Over 50% toilets in slums/underserved areas of six cities are open pit/traditional.
About half of the available toilets in slums/underserved areas are connected with the street drains. Highest percentage of toilets connected with street drains are found in slums/underserved areas of Gujranwala (68%) and Faisalabad (61%). Lowest percentage of toilets connected with street drains are found in Quetta (13%). Less than 50% toilets connected with street drains are found in Peshawar (38%), Rawalpindi (41%), Multan (47%) and Lahore (49%). On an average, 8 persons use single toilet facility. Highest number of average users of single toilet is found in Quetta (9) and Peshawar (9). In the absence of toilet facility, residents of slums/underserved areas practice open defecation. 11% slums report open defecation and 3% underserved areas. The practice of open defecation is highest in slums/underserved areas of Islamabad (21%) and Peshawar (12%) (Table 21c Annex 5).

Chapter 4: Health Resources in Union Councils
Administratively, Pakistan is sub divided into four provinces and federally administered areas including Islamabad, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan. These provinces are sub-divided into districts, which are further divided into tehsils/towns. The latter are split into smaller administrative structures called UCs. Depending on the context and rural/urban settings of each province, each UC has approximately 5-15 villages/areas located within them. Headed by the UC Secretary, each UC has a UC office and has at his disposal, certain resources for the development of villages/areas of that particular UC. These resources are directly correlated to the performance output of that particular UC. This chapter is focused on the status of health resources of 626 UCs of eight cities of three provinces namely Punjab (Lahore, Gujranwala, Multan, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Peshawar), Balochistan (Quetta) and Islamabad. For each city, the data has been collected from the District Health Department with heavy reliance on the data provided by District EPI Coordinator/ DOH Preventive and District Supervisor Vaccination (DSV). The prevalent situation of health resources at the level of UC is split into the following sub-topics: 4.1 Administrative Lay Out 4.1.1 UCs with/without
Slums/Underserved Areas 4.2 Health Facilities 4.2.1 UCs with/without Health
Facilities, 4.2.2 Number of health Facilities

4.1 Administrative Lay Out
The eight largest cities are administratively distributed into 31 towns and 626 UCs. 76% of 626 UCs house slums/underserved areas. Highest spread of slums/underserved areas across UCs is found in Gujranwala (91%) and lowest spread of slums/underserved areas across UCs is found in Quetta (44%). More than 70% of UCs of seven cities house slums/underserved areas.

Although, the spread of slums/ underserved areas are higher in some cities but their population sizes are lower. For example 91% UCs of Gujranwala (1.4 Million) house slums/ underserved areas but their population size is lower than Peshawar (1.5 Million) where 88% UCs house slums/ underserved areas. Similarly, 77% UCs of Islamabad house slums/ underserved areas but their population size is lower than Quetta where 44% UCs house slums/ underserved areas. From the above facts, it can be concluded that the spread of slums/underserved areas across UCs may not always be linked with greater population size.
4.2 Health Facilities
4.2.1 UCs with/without Health Facilities On the whole, 31% UCs do not have public health facilities. Within 05 cities of Punjab, the city that contributes the most to this percentage is Gujranwala with 70% of its UCs not having such facilities. This is followed by 54% UCs not having public health facilities in Faisalabad and 53% of Rawalpindi. On the other end of the spectrum lies Lahore, having only 04% of UCs devoid of any such facilities. About less than a quarter of the UCs in Peshawar (18%) and Quetta (20%) are found without health facilities. Of the 31% UCs where no public health facilities are found, residents are expected to visit and access services of health facilities located in other UCs. It is important to know that density of population and distances to and from health facilities are important considerations for making decision about the establishment of public health facilities. For example, the population density in Quetta is very low compared to that of 05 cities of Punjab. Similarly, distances to and from health facilities in Quetta are greater than distances of 05 cities of Punjab. 4.2.2 Health Facilities Vs UCs Overall, there are 578 Public Health facilities located in 430/626 UCs. The highest number of such facilities is located in Lahore (217) followed by Peshawar (110) and Quetta (63). Gujranwala (29) and Islamabad (30) has the lowest number of public health facilities. It is important to have at least one public health facility in each UC, which is not the case for 07 cities except Lahore where only 02 UCs remain without any public health facility.

4.3 EPI Facilities
4.3.1 UCs with/without EPI Facilities Overall, 26% UCs do not have any EPI facilities. Within 05 cities of Punjab, the trend is mainly driven by Gujranwala with 72% UCs not having EPI facilities. On the other hand, Lahore is the only city in which all UCs have EPI facilities available within them. About half of the UCs of Rawalpindi (52%) is devoid of EPI facilities. 4.3.2 EPI Facilities Vs. Union Councils There are a total of 592 EPI facilities located in 461 UCs. Within 05 cities of Punjab, more than half of the (220) EPI facilities are located in Lahore whereas the lowest number of such facilities is found in Gujranwala (18). 165 UCs across eight cities are devoid of any EPI facilities. Highest number of UCs without EPI facilities is found in Gujranwala (72%), Rawalpindi (52%) and Faisalabad (45%). A small percentage of Peshawar (3%) and Quetta (18%) are devoid of any EPI facility while more than quarter of the UCs in Islamabad (31%) and Multan (32%) are devoid of EPI facilities. It is important to know that the total population of 08 cities is 24 Million and on average, each EPI facility has a load of 40540 persons. It is extremely important to improve the service delivery gap in the largest cities of Pakistan to improve the access of common people especially those residing in slums/underserved areas to EPI facilities. Although the average population per EPI facility in Quetta seems lowest but the distances and low population density requires more EPI facilities than the current number. 4.3.3 Outreach Vaccination Overall 98% UCs have outreach vaccination services available within them. Five cities of Punjab and Peshawar and Quetta have 100% outreach vaccination services available at the UC level. Only 62% UCs of Islamabad have outreach services available to them. It is important to know that 29% slums/underserved areas are devoid of any outreach vaccination services. It is important to assess the effectiveness of outreach vaccination from the percentage of unimmunized and under immunized children in slums/underserved areas (see results of coverage survey in slums/ underserved areas of 10 largest cities of Pakistan). 4.3.4 Cold Chain Overall, 98% EPI facilities have functional Ice Lined Refrigerators available within them. All EPI facilities located in five cities of Punjab, Quetta and Peshawar have functional Ice Lined Refrigerators available within them. In some instances, it is possible that the proper functionality of ILRs is disrupted by frequent power breakdowns.

4.4 Nutrition Services
4.4.1 Presence of Nutrition Services Overall, 50% UCs have nutrition services in 4 cities namely Multan (68%), Peshawar (66%), Faisalabad (56%) and Islamabad (50%). Nutrition services are not available in 37% UCs. This is primarily driven by Quetta (82%) and Gujranwala (70%) being devoid of such services. On the other extreme, all UCs of Lahore (100%) have nutrition services available within them.
4.4.2 Types of Nutrition Services Overall, there are four types of nutrition services being offered:
Fixed Sites
Temporary Sites
School Sessions
Sessions by LHWs 4.4.2a Fixed Sites Overall, half of the UCs of Multan (68%), Faisalabad (56%) and Rawalpindi (47%) have fixed nutrition services. Around quarter of the UCs of Islamabad (19%) have fixed nutrition site. A very small percentage of UCs in Quetta (2%) has these services available. None of the UCs of Peshawar has fixed nutrition sites available within it. 4.4.2b Sessions by LHWs Overall, 42% UCs have nutrition services by LHWs. More than half of the UCs of Lahore (87%), Peshawar (66%) and Rawalpindi (47%) have nutrition services by LHWs. Multan, Gujranwala and Faisalabad does not offer any nutrition services by LHWs. (Table 9 Annex 5). 4.4.2c School Sessions Three cities namely Lahore (13%), Quetta (7%) and Peshawar (2%) offer school nutrition sessions. None of the other city has school nutrition sessions. 4.4.2d Temporary Sites Only Quetta (18%) city have temporary nutrition sites available. None of the other seven cities have temporary sites for nutrition services. 4.5 Human Resources 4.5.1 Vaccinators The number of vaccinators to be deployed for each EPI facility is dependent on the type of health facility where the EPI facility in question is housed. Health facilities operating at a secondary or tertiary level have a higher number of vaccinators as these are expected to cater to a larger number of patients and caregivers. A total of 931 vaccinators are working within 592 EPI facilities. On average, there are 1.6 vaccinator available per EPI facility. Within Punjab, Lahore takes the lead with a total of 356 vaccinators followed by Peshawar (246) and Quetta (120) while the lowest number is contributed by Gujranwala having a merely 19 vaccinators and Rawalpindi having 29 vaccinators.

4.5.2 Lady Health Workers Overall, 25% UCs remains uncovered by LHWs. There are total 3793 Lady Health Workers deployed in 75% UCs. Highest percentage of UCs uncovered by LHWs is in Rawalpindi (52%) and Islamabad (46%). A negligible percentage of UCs in Lahore (2%) and Multan (16%) are uncovered by LHWs. 4.5.3 Dengue Workers Overall, dengue workers are available in 92% UCs of 6 cities. 100% UCs of 05 cities of Punjab and Peshawar have dengue workers. Since dengue is not an issue for Quetta therefore, department of health have not deployed any dengue workers. Similarly in Islamabad, temporary staff is deployed during dengue seaso

Chapter 5: Status of EPI Facilities
In Pakistan, vaccine service delivery for children and women is being offered through EPI facilities, outreach camps and mobile services according to the systems and procedures of each Provincial EPI Cell. The previous chapters describe the situation of slums/underserved areas and availability of health resources in the Union Councils of 08 largest cities of Pakistan. Chapter 4 clearly articulates that besides availability of health and EPI facilities at the Union Council levels, their access and utilization at the slum/underserved areas are very low. This chapter amplifies the situation of 422 EPI facilities located across largest cities of three provinces and Islamabad based on the physical assessment. The overall objectives of the assessment of EPI facilities were to know the strengths and weaknesses of the service delivery system and analyze correlations between coverage rates and strengths and weakness of the system. The physical assessment of 422 EPI facilities checked the following variables: 5.1 Infrastructure 5.1.1 Ownership of Buildings 5.1.2 Waiting Areas 5.1.3 Drinking Water 5.1.4 Toilets
5.2 System 5.2.1 Standard Operating Procedures 5.2.2 Working Hours
5.3 Equipment and Supplies 5.3.1 Ice Line Refrigerators 5.3.2 Supplies 5.3.3 Vaccines
5.4 Waste Management 5.4.1 Types of Practices
5.5 Human Resource 5.5.1 Vaccinators 5.5.2 Lady Health Visitors These EPI facilities have various levels i.e. some of them are EPI facility while some of them are either housed in Basic Health Units and or tertiary/secondary level hospitals. A small percentage of EPI facilities are housed in Private and or Welfare health facilities but run and managed by government. 5.1 Infrastructure
5.1.1 Ownership of Buildings Overall, 85% buildings of EPI facilities are owned by the government, while 15% facilities are either present in rented buildings or housed in private or welfare health facilities. 100% EPI facilities in Faisalabad and Rawalpindi are owned by the government. Majority of the EPI facilities of Quetta (93%), Lahore (94%), Islamabad (79%) and Peshawar (78%) are also owned by government, while the about half of the facilities in Gujranwala (50%) and Multan (57%) are housed in rented/ or private buildings.

Overall, out of the 15% EPI facilities, which are located in the rented buildings or in Private/welfare health facilities, 96% are run and managed by government. 100% EPI facilities in five cities of Punjab are run and administered by the government while 21% EPI facilities of Islamabad are located in privately owned hospital and 4% EPI facilities are housed in charity/trust set up. Whereas, 4% EPI facilities in Quetta and 2% EPI facilities in Peshawar are being run by a charity organization (Table 3 and Annex 6). 5.1.2 Waiting Areas The waiting areas of the EPI facilities were assessed for two main parameters, which include availability of adequate space and gender-segregated space for women. The cultural and religious requirements demand for a gender segregated waiting area especially for women caregivers. 5.1.2a Gender Mixed Waiting Areas
Two cities namely Peshawar and Quetta have relatively higher preferences for gender-segregated services. Overall, 59% EPI facilities do not have gender segregated waiting areas. Highest percentage of EPI facilities in Gujranwala (78%), Lahore (73%) and Faisalabad (65%) report about the unavailability of gender segregated waiting areas. Over half of the EPI facilities in Islamabad (54%), Peshawar (52%) and Quetta (52%) also report about unavailability of gender segregated waiting areas. Only Rawalpindi (42%) and Multan (40%) have relatively better situation where less than half of the waiting areas are not gender segregated. 5.1.2b Inadequate Seating Capacity Overall 36% EPI facilities have inadequate seating capacity in their waiting areas. Over 30% EPI facilities of seven out of eight cities report about inadequate seating capacity. Highest percentage of EPI facilities with inadequate seating capacity is found in Gujranwala (44%). Lowest percentage of inadequate seating capacity is found in EPI facilities of Islamabad (17%). In order to attract caregivers towards EPI facilities, it is extremely important to ensure caregiver friendly gender segregated adequate seating capacity.
5.1.3 Drinking Water Overall 35% EPI facilities do not have drinking water facility. Highest percentages of EPI facilities that report about unavailability of drinking water are found in three cities of Punjab (Gujranwala - 72%, Multan - 43%, Lahore - 42%) and Quetta (48%). A small percentage of Islamabad (21%) and Peshawar (25%) also report about unavailability of drinking water in their respective EPI facilities.

5.1.4 Toilets
5.1.4a Unavailability of Toilets Availability of useable toilets is extremely important for the patients and their attendants. Overall 26% of the total assessed EPI facilities report about unavailability of toilets. Highest percentages of EPI facilities that report about unavailability of toilets are in Rawalpindi (42%). The situation of Peshawar (21%) and Quetta (26%) is comparatively better. The trend varies across cities of Punjab as 100% EPI facilities of Faisalabad have toilet facilities but three cities namely Gujranwala (39%), Lahore (35%) and Multan (33%) report unavailability of toilets in their EPI facilities. 5.1.4b Gender Mixed Toilets From those EPI facilities where toilets are available, it is interesting to put a gender lens on them. Majority of the women in Pakistan feel more comfortable in using gender-segregated toilets. Because of the limited number of toilets in EPI facilities, majority of the toilets are gender mixed. Overall 31% of the total EPI facilities do not have gender-segregated toilets. Highest percentage of EPI facilities without gender-segregated toilets is found in Faisalabad (68%), Gujranwala (44%) and Peshawar (41%). Highest percentage of gender-segregated toilets is available in Islamabad (71%), Quetta (56%) and Multan (50%). Less than 40% toilets in EPI facilities of five out of eight cities are gender segregated. (Table 14 Annex 6). 5.1.4c Unusable Toilets
In EPI facilities where toilets are available 14% are not usable. Highest percentage of unusable toilets is found in Peshawar (27%), Multan (20%) and Gujranwala (17%). None of toilets of EPI facilities of Rawalpindi (0%) are unusable. Less than 15% toilets are unusable in EPI facilities of four cities namely Quetta (13%), Islamabad (9%), Lahore (8%) and Faisalabad (6%). The low usability of toilets is because of multiple factors including unavailability of water, filthiness or physical damage of toilet facility.

5.2 Systems
5.2.1 Standard Operating Procedures Standard Operating Procedures (SoP) guide facility staff about the quality standards and help them avoid malpractices thus availability of SoP is a basic step towards its compliance. Overall SoPs are not available in 59% of the total assessed EPI facilities. Gujranwala (89%), Islamabad (83%) and Quetta (81%) have the highest percentage of EPI facilities without SoPs. The lowest percentage of EPI facilities in Faisalabad (21%), report unavailability of SoPs.
5.2.2 Working for Less than 6 Hours The EPI facilities usually work for 08 hours a day. Two hours are dedicated for the working of vaccinators for record keeping while 06 hours are dedicated for the provision of vaccination services. Overall 14% of the assessed EPI facilities work for less than 6 hours a day. EPI facilities of six out eight cities report about their working for less than 6 hours per day. Highest percentage of EPI facilities in Quetta (69%) work for less than 6 hours. About a quarter of EPI facilities of Islamabad also report working for less than 6 hours a day. A very small percentage of assessed EPI facilities of Gujranwala (6%), Lahore (2%), Rawalpindi (5%) and Peshawar (9%) report about their working duration for less than 6 hours a day.
5.3 Equipment and Supplies
5.3.1 Non Functional Ice Lined Refrigerators Overall only 3% Ice lined refrigerators are found non functional in total assessed EPI facilities. City wise comparison reflects a small percentage of EPI facilities in Rawalpindi (11%) and Peshawar (08%) and Quetta (04%) with non-functional ILR. EPI facilities of five cities have functional ILR. There are multiple reasons of non-functional ILR such as technical damage or power break down. It is important to ensure proper cold chain in all available EPI facilities to continue uninterrupted quality provision of vaccine service delivery. 5.3.2 Availability of Supplies As per SoPs, EPI facilities are supposed to have full stock of vaccines and its related supplies for ensuring uninterrupted vaccination service provision. Availability of the important supplies namely ice packs, vaccine carrier, safety boxes and auto disable syringes were checked while assessing 422 EPI facilities.

5.3.2a Ice Packs Overall 3% EPI facilities report about shortage of ice packs from five cities. These are Rawalpindi (11%), Quetta (7%), Multan (10%), Peshawar (2%) and Lahore (2%). 5.3.2b Vaccine Carrier Overall 2% EPI facilities report about shortage of vaccine carrier from four cities. These are Rawalpindi (11%), Peshawar (1%), Quetta (2%) and Lahore (2%). 5.3.3c Safety Boxes Overall 1% EPI facilities report about shortage of safety boxes from only one city Peshawar (3%). All other facilities have safety boxes available. 5.3.4d Auto disable Syringes Overall 4% EPI facilities report about shortage of auto disable syringes from four cities infrequently. These are Rawalpindi (21%), Peshawar (9%), Gujranwala (6%) and Islamabad (4%).
5.3.2b Vaccines In order to ensure, uninterrupted vaccination service provision, it is important to ensure sufficient stock of vaccine at all times. Although majority of EPI facilities report no shortage of vaccine, a small percentage report about frequent and infrequent shortage of vaccines. Overall only 1% EPI facilities report frequent shortage of vaccines from Quetta (6%) and Peshawar (2%) only and infrequent shortage of vaccine from four cities namely Gujranwala (83%), Quetta (29%) and Peshawar (14%).
5.4 Waste Management
Waste management of supplies is extremely important and it has to be done according to the laid down SoP to avoid the misuse of syringes. Majority of the EPI facilities (98%) report burning and burial of the waste as a waste management practice. A small percentage of EPI facilities in Multan (20%) and Lahore (2%) report about the waste pick up system by Waste Management Company (WMC) vehicle.

5.5 Human Resource
5.5.1 Vaccinators Overall 99% EPI facilties report availability of one or more vaccinators in seven out of eight cities. The number of vaccinator for each EPI facility varies but at least one vaccinator is available in 100% assessed EPI facilities. A small percentage of EPI facilities of Islamabad (12%) do not have vaccinators. It is important to know that the number of vaccinators for each facility varies according to its administrative status and population of the UC where this facility is located. EPI facilities located in secondary or tertiary hospitals have more than one vaccinator hence large number of children can be catered on a daily basis.; 5.5.2 Lady Health Visitors The deployment of Lady Health Visitors (LHVs) is done according to the administrative level of each health facility. EPI facilities housed in secondary and tertiary hospitals and Basic Health Unit may have deployment of LHVs but an independent EPI Facility may not have deployment of LHVs under the administrative system. Primary purpose of the LHV in any of the health facilities is to offer maternal child health care, but they are also made responsible for the vaccination as well. 39% EPI facilities do not have LHVs hence maternal health services are not available in these EPI facilities. Highest percentage of LHVs in EPI facilities is found three cities namely Islamabad (79%), Faisalabad (76%) and Rawalpindi (74%). Lowest percentage of EPI facilities with LHVs is found in Gujranwala (22%).

Chapter 6: Situation in Super High Risk Union Councils
The detailed analysis of union councils for polio high risk segregates 40 UCs as Super High Risk due to certain factors, which requires context specific planning for improving the situation. 32 of the 40 UCs are located in three largest cities of Pakistan namely Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta. This chapter compiles information for Super High Risk UCs (SHRUCs) extracted from the following three sources: a. Profiling of slums/underserved areas held in 10 largest cities of Pakistan (Chapter 3); b. Coverage survey in slums/underserved areas of 10 largest cities of Pakistan. The report
for coverage survey held in slums/underserved areas of 10 largest cities of Pakistan exist separately.
c. Data of health resources of SHRUCs collected from the department of health (Chapter 4) The data for profiling of slums and SHRUCs of Karachi is extracted from the separate report on profiling of slums of Karachi and Hyderabad81. The objective of this chapter is to present the key highlights of SHRUCs with the above stated data sets. The following variables are analysed and presented: 6.1 Health Resources in SHRUCs 6.1.1 Number Health Facilities 6.1.2 SHRUCs with/without Health Facilities 6.1.3 Number of EPI Facilities 6.1.4 Number of Vaccinators 6.1.5 SHRUCs with/without EPI Facilities 6.1.6 SHRUCs with/without Outreach Vaccination 6.1.7 SHRUCs with/without LHWs 6.2 Slums/Underserved Areas Located in SHRUCs 6.2.1 SHRUCs with/without Slums/Underserved Areas 6.2.2 Slums/Underserved Areas in SHRUCs 6.2.3 Types of Residents in Slums/Underserved Areas 6.2.4 Population of Slums/Underserved Areas 6.2.5 Slums/Underserved Areas Uncovered by LHWs 6.2.6 Slums/Underserved Areas with/without Health Facilities 6.2.7 Slums/Underserved Areas with/without EPI Facilities 6.2.8 Slums/Underserved Areas with/without Outreach Vaccination 6.3 Status of Childhood Vaccination 6.3.1 Sample Size 6.3.2 Retention of Vaccination Card 6.3.3 Fully Immunized 6.3.4 Partially Vaccinated 6.3.5 Zero Dose 6.3.6 Reasons of Zero Dose The above stated variables are analysed specifically for 32 SHRUCs located in three cities namely Peshawar, Quetta and Karachi.
6.1 Health Resources of SHRUCs
6.1.1 Health Facilities 32 SHRUCs have 45 health facilities. When number of health facilities is compared with the number of SHRUCs, it shows highest number of health facilities in Karachi where 8 SHRUCs

have 14 health facilities. Quetta has the lowest number of health facilities where 6 SHRUCs have only 9 health facilities. 6.1.2 SHRUCs with/without Health Facilities Although 45 health facilities are found for 32 UCs but a deeper analysis reflects 16% SHRUCs are without any health facility. About a quarter of the SHRUCs of Karachi (33%) and Peshawar (20%) are found without Public health facilities. None of the SHRUCs of Quetta are found without health facility. 6.1.3 EPI Facilities 32 SHRUCs have 55 EPI facilities. When number of EPI facilities is compared with the number of SHRUCs, it shows highest number of EPI facilities in Karachi where 8 SHRUCs have 22 EPI facilities. Peshawar has lowest number of health facilities where 18 SHRUCs have 24 EPI facilities while 6 SHRUCs of Quetta have only 9 EPI facilities. Number of EPI facilities per UC is determined according to the population size and distances to and from residential areas. 6.1.4 SHRUCs with/without EPI Facilities 55 EPI facilities are found for 32 SHRUCs. None of SHRUCs are without any EPI facility. It would be interesting to analyse the following two factors to assess the appropriateness of the number of EPI facility per UC: (a) Population of each UC; (b) distance of residential areas to and from EPI facility location and duration. 6.1.5 Number of Vaccinators Overall 79 vaccinators are working in 55 EPI facilities located in 32 SHRUCs. Highest number of vaccinators is found in EPI facilities of Peshawar (47) while lowest number of vaccinators is found in EPI facilities of Karachi (14). 6.1.6 SHRUCs with/without Outreach Vaccination None of the SHRUCs of three cities are found without outreach vaccination. The low vaccination coverage and polio high risk factor in these SHRUCs imply either service delivery has some gaps or caregivers are unaware of importance of vaccination and component on demand generation is weak. 6.1.7 SHRUCs with/without LHWs Coverage Overall 78% SHRUCs have deployment of LHWs while a small percentage of SHRUCs in Quetta (33%) and Peshawar (28%) are without deployment of LHWs. LHWs are important health resource which may play an important role in demand generation and reduce number of refusals through their house to house mobilization.

6.2 Slums/Underserved Areas
6.2.1 SHRUCs with/without Slums/Underserved Areas Overall 88% SHRUCs house slums/underserved areas. A small percentage of SHRUCs in Peshawar and Quetta do not have slums/underserved areas while 100% SHRUCs of Karachi are with slums/underserved areas. It is important to know the number of slums/underserved areas and target population residing in these areas for effective planning. 6.2.2 Slums/Underserved Areas in SHRUCs 28 SHRUCs house 299 slums/underserved areas. Highest number of slums/underserved areas is found in Quetta (120) followed by Peshawar (102). The concentration of slums/underserved areas in relation to the number of SHRUCs shows highest concentration in Quetta where 120 slums/underserved areas exist in 6 UCs only while Karachi has the lowest concentration where 77 slums exist in 8 UCs. It is important to know that the size of slums/underserved areas varies in each city. A city may have a smaller number of slums/underserved areas but high population size. For example Karachi has the lowest number of slums (77) while population size of slums is highest amongst all three cities (6.2.4). 6.2.3 Types of Residents82 in Slums/Underserved Areas Majority of the residents of slums/underserved areas are permanent settlers (70%). More than quarter of the residents of slums/underserved areas in Peshawar (29%) are temporary displaced and another 9% residents belong to other Nationalities. Similarly slums/underserved areas of Quetta have highest percentage for permanent settlers (86%) and lowest percentages for temporary displaced (7%) and residents belonging to other Nationalities (7%). 6.2.4 Population of Slums/Underserved Areas Approximate population of slums/underserved areas is about 1 Million. Although lowest number of slums/underserved areas are found in 8 SURUCs of Karachi but the population size is highest here. The population size of slums/underserved areas of Peshawar and Quetta have 0.2 Million people. 6.2.5 Slums/Underserved Areas Uncovered by LHWs Overall 44% slums/underserved areas are covered by LHWs with highest percentage in Peshawar (52%). Almost 70% slums/underserved areas in Quetta and 45% slums/underserved areas in Karachi are not covered by LHWs.

6.2.6 Slums/Underserved Areas with/without Health Facilities Majority of the slums/underserved areas do not mention about presence of health facilities beyond 2 kilometers radius (94%). A very small percentage in slums/underserved areas of Peshawar (2%), Quetta (3%) and Karachi (14%) mention about presence of health facilities within 2 kilometers radius. 6.2.7 Slums/Underserved Areas with/without EPI Facilities Majority of the slums/underserved areas are without EPI facilities (92%). Residents of 92% slums/underserved areas are expected to travel beyond 2 kilometers to access EPI facilities. A small percentage of slums/underserved areas in Peshawar (5%), Quetta (7%) and Karachi (13%) report about presence of EPI facilities within 2 kilometers radius. 6.2.8 Slums/Underserved with/without Outreach Vaccination Majority of the slums/underserved areas report that they are covered for outreach vaccination 81%). A small percentage of slums/underserved areas in Quetta (27%) and Karachi (31%) report that they are not covered for outreach vaccination.
6.3 Status of Childhood Vaccination
The status of childhood vaccination for slums/underserved areas located in SHRUCs was an integral part of larger coverage survey held in 10 largest cities of Pakistan. A separate report exists for the results of coverage survey. Specific results of childhood vaccination are presented are extracted only for slums/underserved areas of 32 SHRUCs. 6.3.1 Retention of Vaccination Card Overall vaccination card retention is 30% with higher percentage of card retention in boys (54%) compared to girls (46%). Highest card retention is found in slums/underserved areas of Karachi (41%) and lowest card retention is found in slums/underserved areas of Quetta (26%). 6.3.2 Fully Immunized Overall 38% children are found fully immunized based on records and recall basis. Higher percentage of boys (54%) is found fully immunized compared to girls (46%). Highest percentage of fully immunized children is found in slums/underserved areas of Karachi (45%). Lowest percentage of fully immunized children is found in Quetta (21%).

6.3.3 Partially Vaccinated Overall 41% children are found partially vaccinated. Gender difference was not significant for partially vaccinated children in Peshawar and Quetta. In slums/underserved areas of Karachi, a higher percentage of girls (54%) are found partially vaccinated compared to boys (46%). 6.3.4 Zero Dose Overall 21% children are found having no antigens administered. Highest percentage of zero dose are found in slums/underserved areas of Quetta (27%) and lowest percentage of zero dose are found in slums/underserved areas of Karachi (11%). 6.3.5 Reasons of Zero Dose Majority of the mothers (48%) state non-permission as one of the major reasons for not getting their children immunized. City wise analysis of reasons reflects highest intensity of non-permission in slums of Karachi (71%) compared to Quetta (36%) and Peshawar (54%). Intensity of other reasons varies for each city. Other reasons include ‘fear of side effects’, ‘no time for vaccination’ and unaware of vaccination timings etc. All other reasons stated by mothers are highlight low levels of awareness about the importance of immunization.

Chapter 7 Conclusion and Recommendations
No Time for Vaccination
Rasheeda, a 27 year old is a mother of Murad (22 months old) lives in a small Kacha house of one room with 10 family members (5 males and 5 females) in Basti Kili Balochabad of Chilton town of Quetta Balochistan. Some part of the Basti is situated in Zarghoun town as well. The other residents of the Basti are mostly Pashtun like her family. There are around 50 households in her Basti with mixed Kacha and Pacca housing structures. Majority of the male population of this Basti work on daily wages. The financial situation of the residents are not good and many families face the situation of only one meal per day due to the unavailability of the wages in different seasons. The hygiene condition of Basti is very poor. Mostly the drains are open and filthy and water is over flowing from the drains. The residents feel difficulty while passing through the street due to the drains water. The toilets also have traditional pits and dirty water mixed in the drains that caused more smell in the area. Small children play in the streets that are very harmful for their health. Although the households’ latrines are available inside the houses but small children often urinate in streets as well. There is also no solid waste management system in the Basti. Residents throw their waste in nearby plot. There is no health center or lady health worker in Basti.
“There is no health center in our Basti and its surroundings and We never saw any LHW in our area. Many of the mothers in our Basti do not have any knowledge about vaccination. My husband is also against the vaccination. We and our forefathers were grown without any vaccination and are healthier than today’s children”.
It is very unfortunate that Murad is not alone in this case there are 15 other children of his age in the Basti who never got any dose of vaccination.

Chapter 7: Conclusion and Recommendations
7.1 Conclusion
During 1950-1990, a significant proportion of the slums were formed, a period of rapid urbanization within the country. Even though a high proportion of these vulnerable areas are registered and have Pacca housing structures, a critical analysis of information gathered through profiling reveals that residents of such areas live in despicable conditions with minimal access to basic amenities such as proper sanitation and waste disposal management systems. A significant proportion, especially those residing in slums as compared to those living in underserved areas, have Kacha or Kacha-Pacca (mixed) housing structures in place, thereby making them more vulnerable to unfavorable weather conditions. Regardless of such poor conditions, a significant proportion of the residents have been residing in such areas for more than 2 years with only a negligible percentage of population being temporarily displaced or belonging to other nationalities. The presence of toilets in such areas is common, with only a very minute percentage of slums/underserved areas not having them. With respect to the types of toilets available, nearly half of the available toilets are connected with street drain and the other half is a traditional/open pit toilet. In areas where toilets are not available within their private abode, residents have to rely on other sources for defecation including using neighbor’s toilets, using public toilets or in instances where even these options are unavailable, ultimately resorting to open defecation. The lack of adequate solid and liquid waste disposal systems is commonplace, with a significant proportion of these areas having filthy and choked drains even where they do happen to exist. Dumping of waste on empty plots and streets is a practice adopted by nearly half of the areas surveyed with the other half reporting heavy reliance on government/WMC vehicles for proper waste disposal. Government water supply for domestic consumption purposes is available in only a quarter of slums/underserved areas with the remaining areas resorting to using ground water and acquiring water from tankers. A quarter of slums/underserved areas surveyed did not have any schools available shedding light on the dismal reality that children residing in such areas have to cover long distances by foot to gain education or, in a starker scenario, end up not getting educated at all. Health facility assessments reveal that about a third of the UCs of the 8 cities surveyed are devoid of public health facilities. Even in UCs where these facilities along with EPI facilities are present, the available resources to immunize children are inadequate and fall short of the prerequisite needed to meet the population’s vaccination needs. Furthermore, a very small percentage of these facilities are located within slums/underserved areas highlighting the fact that access to such facilities is limited to those who are most in need of utilizing such facilities’ services. Coupled with financial hardship, lack of accessibility to health facilities plays a pivotal role in resulting low immunization coverage rates of such areas. Nearly half of the UCs has nutrition services available within them with the highest percentage of such services being provided by LHWs followed by fixed nutrition services. Along similar lines, even in areas where EPI facilities are present, they lack the required resources and services to meet the population’s vaccination needs. More than half of the facilities surveyed lack gender segregated waiting areas and gender segregated toilets. This is a cause of concern, especially in provinces such as Peshawar and Quetta where female caregivers may be considerably discouraged to get their children vaccinated due to the lack of such facilities. More than half of these EPI facilities do not have SoPs available when checked at the time of visit indicating the crucial need for an adequate monitoring system to be in place. Even though vaccinators are available in nearly all facilities, LHVs, on the other hand, are available in nearly 60% of facilities only. This proves to be a discouraging factor for female caregivers to visit such facilities and to get their children immunized. In order to counter this problem, it is imperative that the number of LHVs be increased so that their services can be provided to those in need.

7.2 Study Limitations
The profiling of slums / underserved areas is done by conducting interactive group interviews. There is a possibility of exaggeration and biased input from the participants due to prevailing group dynamics.
The study provides accurate listing of the slums and provides substantial details on the profiling of the slums. However, since it is a sample-based study, the input from the sample does not precisely represents the true opinion of the entire slum population.
Although the study provides an insight into the water and sanitation conditions of the dwellers of slums/underserved areas, the study does not, in detail covers the hygiene of water in terms of water safety for human consumption. The study also does not cover the poor sanitation related ordeals of the slum dwellers.
The data on existing healthcare facilities has been collected from the department of health. It has been organised and analysed under the existing study but the healthcare facilities (except EPI facilities) located in the union councils, were not physically visited and verified by the study team.
The data presented on EPI facilities is the observation/input of the survey team and information provided by the technical staffs / doctors. The department of health may have different information about EPI facilities in their records.
The profiling of slums/underserved areas was conducted to have a cursory view of the situation therefore participatory groups discussions were conducted in each slum and underserved areas. Since the detailed house-to-house information has not been collected from the residents, some of the information may have exaggeration according to the participants of the group.
The status of vaccinations explored through childhood vaccination coverage survey in the community were not triangulated with the data obtained from fixed EPI facilities through assessment. Therefore, the survey records for recall basis may have some variation.
The childhood vaccination coverage survey was conducted only with mothers of children aged between 12 and 23 months, living in slums/underserved areas. The majority of mothers were either had no formal education or had very low levels of education. Their responses may have some understanding gaps.
Since majority of the respondents of coverage survey were mothers with no formal education therefore the status of vaccination on recall basis has limited reliability.
Since majority of the mothers of zero dose children had no formal education therefore reasons of zero dose may have missed some more aspects.
Almost 75 percent population (slums and underserved areas) has access to school (i.e. access to primary education) in the study areas. However, type and quality of school education had not been assessed.
7.3 Recommendations
The following recommendations are made according to the gaps in health resources and coverage rates in slums/underserved areas. 7.3.1 Health Facilities
Improve access to health facilities by ensuring availability of health and EPI facilities according to the population size and access of majority of the residents.
Improve the availability and accessibility of health and EPI facilities for residents of slums/underserved areas. It is important to utilize the private sector health facilities for improving the access of slums/underserved areas to vaccination services.
7.3.2 Nutrition
Add component of Nutrition services in the current set of health and EPI facilities. This would economize the costs and multiply the impact of vaccination services.
Include topics like balanced diet, assessment of nutrition levels in children and mothers as part of the regular job of LHWs and vaccinators. This would help in enhancing the effectiveness of LHWs and vaccinators working.
52
7.3.3 EPI Facility
Ensure Standard Operating Procedures are updated according to current changes in the system and practices and that the staff is trained and followed up for its adherence.
Standard Operating Procedures is a guiding document for maintaining quality standards for running and managing the EPI facilities. It is extremely important to maintain quality standards according to approved Standard Operating Procedures, which will keep facilities working, more smooth, standardized and regular to attract more caregivers. There is an immediate need to ensure provision of Standard Operating Procedures and its compliance in all fixed EPI and health facilities.
Provide gender specific infrastructure facilities in buildings of EPI facilities. For example, women and men specific waiting areas with adequate seating capacity.
Ensure availability of drinking water, women and men specific functional, clean toilets to facilitate and encourage caregivers for visiting the EPI facilities particularly females.
Ensure timely availability of vaccines and vaccine supplies without any interruption to vaccination services.
7.3.4 Flexibility of Timings
Reconsider total timings and duration for offering vaccination services according to the preference of caregivers. Either introduce flexible hours for the outreach vaccination services according to the availability of residents of slums/underserved areas or introduce double shift system for vaccination services in EPI facilities and ensure availability of vaccination for extended hours as well.
7.3.5 Accountability
Ensure strict accountability and performance management system for the staff of EPI facilities. The EPI facility must operate for 06 hours per day consecutively for 5 days a week.
Introduce performance-based payments together with effective performance management measures. For example, offer non-financial incentives to high performing LHWs and vaccinators such as certificate for best employee. Any LHW or vaccinator securing 12 certificates consecutively could be recommended for salary increments etc. This would improve the coordination and teamwork between LHWs and vaccinators.
Offer periodic performance-based incentives to vaccinators to improve effectiveness of outreach vaccination services.
7.3.6 Outreach Vaccination
Ensure availability of outreach vaccination services in 100% slums/underserved areas.
Undertake awareness raising sessions about the existence and availability of the public health facilities and importance of its utilization.
Create permanent outreach vaccination points in or near slums/underserved areas. Health houses of LHWs can also be transformed into outreach vaccination points.
7.3.7 Health Work Force
Ensure all EPI facilities have vaccinators according to its workload. It is a missed opportunity for those children who happen to visit the facilities but go without any vaccination due to unavailability of the vaccinator.
Ensure timely availability of vaccines and vaccine supplies without any interruption to vaccination services
Facilitate vaccinators in preparing realistic micro plans and covering children living in both planned and unplanned areas (slums).
Create system for tracking new born and moving population to prepare realistic micro plans.
Guide LHWs about their awareness raising topics on a monthly basis.
Ensure deployment of LHVs in 100% EPI facilities as LHVs offer multiple benefits because of their qualifications and gender. They provide maternal child health care, services for safe delivery and vaccination to women and children. The cultural practices of Pakistan demand for women friendly services in which gender of the vaccinator is one such service, which may
53
attract women caregivers. Presence of LHVs encourages female caregivers to access EPI facilities not only for childhood vaccination but also for maternal child health care.
Ensure administration of vaccination in private health facilities, which offer MNCH services.
Ensure child registry as part of micro planning. 7.3.8 Community Engagement
Create a support structure in the form of influencers and religious leaders for mobilizing the hard-core refusals of childhood vaccination.
Organise residents of slums/underserved areas into an organised group to become a support tier for facilitating mobilization of caregivers during outreach vaccination.
Facilitate LHWs in raising awareness levels of caregivers on importance of childhood immunization as a priority.
Ensure regular follow up of caregivers by front line health workers (vaccinators or LHWs or social organisers or local community activists) before and after outreach vaccination in their respective areas.
Ensure announcement and positioning of Kit Station through community engagement. 7.3.9 Practical vs. Strategic Needs
Coordinate and combine vaccination services together with public and private welfare initiatives that contribute to improvements in economic conditions of urban poor. This would directly contribute to an increase in coverage rates as this addresses their practical as well as strategic problems.
Coordinate and combine vaccination services together with public and private welfare initiatives that contribute to the improvements in economic conditions of urban poor. This would directly contribute the increase in coverage rates as this addresses their practical as well as strategic problems.
7.3.10 Water
The containers used for the storage of water are very dirty and open. Most of these containers become breeding places for dengue mosquitoes. Establish regular water supply system in slums/underserved areas to avoid contamination as well as prevent any breeding place for dengue mosquitoes.
7.3.11 Household Toilets
Although majority of the slums are registered even then a large majority of them do not have access to proper sewerage system. Any outbreaks due to unhygienic conditions may affect the residents of entire city of Islamabad. Engage CSOs for introducing safe sanitation in slums/underserved areas.
7.3.12 Waste Management
The solid waste is thrown in either streets and or on empty plots in majority of the slums/underserved areas. Streets are playing area for children and make them highly vulnerable to catch preventable diseases. Provide solid waste management system in slums/underserved areas as part of preventing diseases and outbreaks.
7.3.13 Registration of Slums
36% slums are unregistered or illegal; this lack of official recognition makes these communities prone to evictions and deprived of basic facilities. Share list of unregistered slums to Kachi Abaadi Cells and Deputy Commissioner Offices and advocate them to regularise them. The provision of secure tenure for slum dwellers is a prerequisite to receiving delivery of basic services.
