Leadership
Our Governance
Originally instituted as a Businessmen Hospital Trust as a 50-bed organization in 1978 with six outpatient departments. Shalamar was the culmination of strenuous efforts by its members Chaudary Nazar Mohammad (late) and his esteemed partners, Mr. Mohammad Hussain (late), Mr. Naseem Saigol, Mr. Mumtaz A Sheikh, and Syed Babar Ali, with kind assistance from the Punjab government. Shalamar has been operating under generous endowment funds and through private donations and grants from all over Pakistan.

Our Heritage
Over the last 44 years, Shalamar Hospital has evolved into a premier tertiary care medical facility with 500 beds and 25 clinical departments and specialties equipped with world-class diagnostic and treatment facilities.
Situated at Shalimar Link Road, the 18-acre establishment was originally instituted as a Businessmen Hospital Trust as a 50-bed organization in 1978 with six outpatient departments.
Our pioneering culture led us to form Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences (SIHS) as the umbrella organization for Shalamar Hospital (1978), Shalamar Nursing College (SNC, 2006), Shalamar Medical & Dental College (SMDC, 2009), and Shalamar School of Allied Health Sciences (2016). These educational institutions were established to improve service delivery in tertiary healthcare. Our Shalamar Medical & Dental College is now ranked among UHS’s top medical colleges.
