This article carries every detail about the hospital, including Indus Hospital History.

Indus Hospital History

The idea of Indus Hospital

With one-hundred and fifty beds, Indus Hospital and Health Network was founded as a multi-disciplinary and tertiary care hospital. This health network has been providing free services to the Pakistani people for the past thirteen years.

Reducing Healthcare Burden

The hospital has been growing into IHHN (Indus Hospital & Health Network), has been operating to reduce the nation’s healthcare burden by offering high-quality healthcare facilities. The Network comprises twelve hospitals (four managed & operated by IHHN.

Blood Center

The Blood Centre was set up in Oct 2013 with the aim of providing safe and healthy blood that meets international standards to all sections of society irrespective of any discrimination.

The mission of Blood Center

The Blood Center’s mission is to motivate the nation to voluntarily donate blood.  In the few years, the Center has been capable of handling not only Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) and the network of twelve hospitals, as well as the blood-banks of various government, private and non-governmental hospitals in the city of Karachi.

Physical Rehabilitation Center

In 2015 the Physical Rehab Center was founded at the Korangi Campus, Karachi, with the help of the CHAL Foundation and ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross). It is Pakistan’s only hospital that provides free prosthetic limbs as well as physiotherapy to enable sufferers to walk again.

In addition, the hospital offers psychological therapy to patients and their family members to assist them in dealing with the crisis.

Expansion of Centers

IHHN extended its Center’s operations to Bedian Road Hospital in Lahore, and Civil Hospital in Badin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital in Muzaffargarh to meet the increasing needs. Disabled people are receiving modern rehabilitation treatments from all four centres. These include orthotics, prosthetics, mobility, and physiotherapy aids such as crutches and wheelchairs.

Outreach Programs

GHD

(Global Health Directorate)-the public arm of IHHN-oversees public health outreach strategies implementing facility-based and community programs throughout Pakistan.

These programs concentrate on MNCH (Maternal Neonatal Child Health), mental health, infectious diseases, primary care, and mental health programs in all communities and campuses. The directorate, with the assistance of some international and national donors and stakeholders, is operating several public health programs.

HIV Program

The ARV (antiretroviral therapy) treatment department at IHHN concentrates on improving programmatic care of individuals who take doses of drugs affected by AIDS, while new IVDUs (Intravenous Drug Users) are listed and put on antiretroviral therapy treatment.

This approach presented to support and help the patients beyond medical care by recruiting a team that’d facilitate counselling for anxiety and depression. In Pakistan, many people are suffering from HIV. These people are society’s most marginalized people.

Zindagi Mehfooz

In Oct 2012, the Zindagi Mehfooz’s digital registry was introduced to reinforce the timely vaccine coverage situation of children reaching TIH (The Indus Hospital) for immunization. Children who visit any of these immunization centres are also added to the list for SMS notifications.

Family Planning Initiative

Through the Community Health Program at Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital, GHD initiated a Family Planning project in partnership Punjab Government and Population Welfare Development.

IHRC (Indus Hospital Research Center)

IHRC serves as an important centre for research-related tasks at IHHN to guide, support, and promote the multiple research priorities of the Indus. They aim to promote a scientifically effective and morally right research atmosphere within the hospital, thus encouraging research.

History of IHRC

It was founded at Korangi Campus in 1998 and was operated in collaboration with IRD to set up and operate public health initiatives. The operations of IHRC were handed over to the Medical Directorate of Indus, and its public health programs like Diabetes, Malaria, and TB were shifted to newly founded GHD.
