Shifa International Hospital | (051) 8464646 | Pitras Bukhari Road, Pakistan

Compared to most medical institutions, it can be considered as 'amongst the best'. Being next to a sewage channel, is effective for getting rid of harmful waste which otherwise would be a problem. It has its own incinerator for non-biodegradable waste and has the most extensive range of doctors who are just as experienced and learned as doctors found in any other international hospital. The reception is fast albeit the demand for doctors is not met due to the fact that the hospital always has a patient who has their appointment. They have their own pharmacies, of which two I've visited and have almost always found to be stocked with whatever is required. The fee is high, but with a hospital that has such facilities, you'd expect an expensive fee. The waiting area is comfortable, and temperature controlled. Security is highly effective and an emergency exit is available. The only con is, when commuting the emergency exit sometimes may be slow to enter as there's no authority that is regulating the parking space outside the hospital. A park is also available for anyone who may be visiting a patient. The cafeteria has a healthy environment, with tasty and healthy food all round (with unhealthy soft drinks but, that's up to you). Overall, it's what you'd expect from a private hospital of epic proportions- reception may be slow, but you'll see why once you get here

This hospital is one of the best hospitals of Pakistan.

I often visit for parents regular checkup and treatment. Service is fast, appointment time isn't accurate though, you always have to wait. You're sent in by first come basis. That's okay in a way. Services are premium, files are centrally maintained and any tests from any shifa laboratory can be accessed by doctors. Doctors respond queries by text for regular patients
