Hospitals/Healthcare Infra

Members of the Dawoodi Bohra community continually strive to make positive contributions to the healthcare sectors of the regions they inhabit. In Pakistan, there is a growing number of doctors and medical professionals within the community who voluntarily offer their services in their localities. The community’s medical fraternity in Karachi helps run two major hospitals. The Burhani Hospital in Garikhata; and Saifee Hospital, in North Nazimabad Haidry, are both located in the heart of the city and have been serving the people of Pakistan for decades.

The Burhani Hospital established in 1913, was initially a dispensary till 1978. Thereafter, it was repurposed and named Burhani Hospital by the late Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin. Today, Burhani Hospital has 108 indoor beds and provides services to around 6000 in-patients and around 80,000 out-patients annually with the help of dedicated professional staff and state of the art modern equipment. It provides multi-specialist treatments and has the capacity to facilitate major surgeries especially in the fields of Orthopedic (knee and hip replacement), general surgeries (whipple procedures, splenectomy), Endoscopic, Laparoscopic surgeries (Lap Chole, Ureteroscopy (URS) surgeries, Arthroscopies, etc.) and Gynecology / Obstetrician.

Saifee Hospital was established by Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin as Saifee hospital in memory of his revered father, Syedna Taher Saifuddin. The hospital caters to the population of District Central Karachi and has a capacity of 169 beds. It stands out for its 19 consulting rooms where 60 reputed consultants operate their clinics serving nearly 500 patients on a daily basis. The Hospital has 23 Departmental services including a 24/7 hour pharmacy, emergency rooms, diagnostic services and four operation theatres. Saifee Hospital is currently scaling up its capacity to provide better services and accommodate a total of 200 beds by adding two floors to the existing structure.

On the 22nd of January 2021, the ground breaking ceremony of the new construction was performed by the Chancellor of the University of Karachi and Governor of Sindh, Mr Imran Ismail. The size of the plot earmarked for this project is 2 acres. The new construction will facilitate post-graduate studies and clinical courses for nearly 1000 students.
