Shifa International Hospital (SIH) is a private hospital located in Islamabad, Pakistan.[1] It is listed as SHFA on the Pakistan Stock Exchange.[2][3]
It is a multi-specialty tertiary care hospital with over 400 beds. The hospital performs operations of liver, kidney, and bone marrow transplant. It offers 640 slice CT scan. SIH runs two medical centers in Islamabad and is constructing a full-fledged hospital in Faisalabad.[4][5]
History
Zaheer Ahmad, a Pakistani American medical doctor, is often credited as the founder of Shifa International Hospital. He also served as chief executive at the hospital.[6]
The Hospital was incorporated on September 20, 1987 as a private limited company. It was converted to a public limited company on October 12, 1989. The construction activity began in 1988. Shifa was officially opened in 1993, with 8 OPD clinics and 36 beds.[2]
As of 2018, about 85% of the liver transplant operations in Pakistan were performed at SIH, of which 700 organ transplants were done successfully. In 2018, the hospital suspended the transplant program due to fraud alleged by a patient's family.[1]
Shifa National Hospital Faisalabad, a subsidiary of Shifa International Hospital Limited, began its construction in 2022.[5]
