Since Its opening In 1985, P.I.M.S. has been expanding
Its services and equipment to meet the growing healthcare
needs of the human community.
Objectives of P.I.M.S. are to provide a tertiary level
patient care and serve as referral hospital also to
conduct teaching/ training of doctors and other health
workers at various level in the field of medicine
and surgery.
The establishment of the Pakistan
Institute of Medical Sciences (P.I.M.S) in Islamabad
heralds a bright new era for the citizens of Pakistan,
especially the residents of the Federal Capital.
The plan, conceived in the sixties(1960s),
has finally been implemented. Initially named as the
Islamabad Hospital Complex (IHC), the original site
was located within the premises of the National Institute
of Health but was shifted in favour of the present
site due to its central position. In 1975, the
Capital Development Authority (CDA), outlined a plan
for the construction of an inpatients block.
Pakistani engineers prepared a master plan by 1978,
envisaging ample room for future alteration and expansion.
