  <abstract>
    <p>Background: Health education is least prioritized, in economically sustained households. Objective: To measure the influence of migration on wellbeing of the rural community District Rawalpindi. Methodology: In a qualitative study, purposive sampling was used. Key informant, in-depth interviews, participant observation carried out. Results: Disease prevalence, found observable. International remittance reflected the impact on a nutritious diet in sickness but people seemed careless about health despite of sustained financial resource. They seemed to become decisively conscious about healthy life and its value unless any family member went through severe disease consequences and sickness. Remittances broadened choices to seek health care preferences among modern medicines and traditional healing methods. Conclusion: Lack of awareness to manage sickness and diseases, people found deprived of health education. Remittances accelerated the reduction in disease financial burden but least productive behaviors towards health. Study revealed health education and disease awareness is mandatory for rural dwellings to achieve Sustained Development Goals (SDGs- 2030).</p>
