The basic aim of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CPR) is to improve the cardiac fitness and enhance the quality of life. Worldwide enormous number of patients has been suffering from cardiopulmonary problem show ever, seek appropriate care. CPR is considered an important component of care for the patients suffering with cardiac problems. For past few years I have been observing the lack of awareness and unavailability of facilities creating a major obstacle in progress of CPR in the country. Pakistani researchers and professionals need to pay attention on the aspect of CPR especially in the tertiary care hospitals where the facilities can easily be provided.
