Abstract
Karachi is a metropolitan city of Pakistan and is the economic and cultural center. The population growth rate of Karachi is quite significant as people of many different cultural and regional backgrounds come here for earning purpose as well as many refugee camps have now become a big shelter for many. So as urbanization has been increasing in a rapid and unplanned way, it has been putting pressure on the problem of urban basic health service. The people, who are living in slums and old settlement, have lack of Knowledge about basic health needs and are not getting basic health services in the concept of primary health care (PHC). But there are not much accurate basic Health Services Programmes running in the city hence disease burden is increasing day by day.
