Sindh Approves 13-Story Edhi Medical Tower at Children’s Hospital

The Sindh cabinet has granted approval for the development of a 13-story, 445-bed medical facility at the National Institute of Child Health. The Bilquis & Abdul Sattar Edhi Medical Tower, costing $17 million, will be constructed under a public-private partnership with the Abdul Sattar Edhi Foundation. The foundation's contribution of $10 million will be matched by the Sindh government, which will provide a $7 million grant-in-aid.

The provincial government will release the funds in two equal payments during the fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28. The approval came during a meeting chaired by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. The cabinet also established a supervisory committee, with Faisal Edhi as its head, to oversee project implementation, financial transparency, and fund utilization.
