SIUT

ly no access to proper medical facilities. They
are financially incapable of affording modern diagnostic, treatment and transplant facilities which are extremely costly in the private
sector. SIUT maintains that health-care is a fundamental human right and should be available to anyone and everyone free of cost. With this mission in mind we ensure that no patient is turned away from our hospital or bears the cost of treatment. SIUT’s extensive facilities which include state-of-the-art equipment enable us to provide free treatment across a vast field of medicine. This allows patients to be treated in the comfort of their own country instead of seeking costly treatment abroad thereby saving valuable
resources. SIUT depends substantially on contributions from the public, corporate bodies and citizens to provide this free treatment. Government grants and Zakat contributions are also an important part of our funding. With this in mind SIUT has developed a model partnership with the government and the community to fund the needs of our patients. Our success is based on a simple philosophy of
community service, social responsibility, team-work and a strong work-ethic. It is this vision and dedication that has enabled us to
establish a state-of-the-art medical institution that strives to provide free treatment to all. As part of its ongoing mission to improve health care across Pakistan, SIUT has also set up teaching and training facilities in house which
include training doctors, nurses and technicians. Graduates of the SIUT postgraduate programs have the requisite knowledge, skills and
practices necessary to establish tertiary care programs elsewhere in the region and Pakistan. They play a vital role in transferring this
knowledge (medicine & technology related); reaching out to people in need and assisting other care providers in the various disciplines covered. SIUT also has the added honour of serving as a regional training center for urology, nephrology and transplantation for graduates from
Iran, Sudan, UAE, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and other South Asian countries. All the training is organized, managed, monitored and evaluated at SIUT with local and international collaboration where needed. Our decades long commitment is deeply rooted in our philosophy to provide free medical care to everyone. It is this vision that has sustained us and we hope to continue serving everyone with dignity and respect. Pakistan’s First Cadaver Organ Transplant

SIUT is known for dedicatedly achieving one milestone after another. Doctors and paramedics of SIUT created medical history by carrying out Pakistan’s first cadaver kidney transplant in 1995. The organ
(gifted by Euro Transplant Foundation) was retrieved from a 14 year old Dutch girl who died of cerebral hemorrhage. Her kidney was successfully transplanted into a 24-year-old Pakistani female patient suffering from end stage renal failure.
