Background and Rationale

Pakistan has borders with India, China and Iran.  Has a population, of 150 million growing @ 2.9% per annum. The literacy level is low with per capita income of US$ 400 per annum.  As like the third world countries it is direly insufficient on healthcare, education and social facilities.

Goals and Objectives

Project Design and Implementation Plan  The project conceived in the year 2004, went through designing for over 24 months, this was carefully done. Renowned architect of the country was engaged (limitations experienced on hospital planning and designing).  To overcome this Medical Advisory Committee, was formed comprising medical professionals and best-brains who had experience and qualifications outside Pakistan as well. International Hospitals Group, United Kingdom was engaged to scrutinize the planning and designing which has been Okayed.   Construction is in full swing and first phase (implementation divided into 3 phases) will be completed to provide soft opening of 130 beds in March 2009. The construction will be for the whole hospitals, only faculties and equipment installation will be done in phases.  This phasing is done after careful thought as we expect more funds and donations to flow once the soft opening is established.
