The ground-plus-three-story building, covering 200,000 square feet, will accommodate 150 to 200 beds and provide advanced diagnostic and treatment services for various ailments. The joint effort between the Sindh government and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) culminated in the inauguration of this modern facility. With its expected opening next week, the new block will cater to patients from District Central and other areas of Karachi. Mahmood Ahmed Khan, Registrar of Karachi Metropolitan University, highlighted that the hospital will function as a multi-specialty healthcare center, focusing on gastroenterology, cardiology, pulmonology, and dermatology. The hospital has also procured additional state-of-the-art medical equipment to enhance patient care. Outpatient department (OPD) services will be offered across multiple disciplines, ensuring comprehensive care under a single roof. The hospital administration plans to operate the facility in phases, allowing patients to access various healthcare services simultaneously.
