I haven't found my original source yet, but I did find a post to FR by myself(!) in 2006 that states that the rate is 1.5%, so it seems very likely that I'm misremembering that 2.8% figure. Sorry about that.

The 1.5% figure of Pakistani schizophrenia is roughly twice the global average of 0.7%. The 1.5% figure is backed up e.g. on page 15 of this overview document and also in this interesting read on schizophrenia in Pakistan

See post 25. Sorry, I appear to have cited the wrong statistic previously. Apparently the rate is ‘only’ 1.5%.

Which is still very high, but is not as horrific as 2.8%
