Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) became a pandemic by the start of 2020. Mortalities went on rise due to lack of understanding of disease as the symptoms varied from population to population and even within the same population. Furthermore, there were lack of facilities in hospitals to accommodate the patients as well as to treat them. Pakistan is no exception and the situation here was also worsened. Government of Pakistan started to take emergency steps and devised new policies to provide facilities to patients regarding quarantine and treatment. In this review, there is an overview of Province-wise situation in Pakistan regarding the hospitals and facilities for COVID-19 patients. Flaws in the system and a comparison with world is also discussed.
