THE AMOUNT IN FIGURE CANNOT BE RIGHT. IF THIS FUGURE IS RIGHT THEN PAKISTAN IS THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. INSTEAD OF GETTING AIDS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES WOULD BE GIVING AIDS TO OTHER COUNTHRIES. RIGHT FIGURE SHOULD BE $15,542 MILION AND NOT BILLION. MOST OF THE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT BILLION IS. THEY TAKE 100 MILLION AS BILLION IN FACT IT IS 1000 MILLION TO 1 BILLION.
