Fuelled by a passion to serve people unable to afford health-care facilities, their determination planted the seeds of a vision that culminated in the creation of a 150 bed tertiary care center in July 2007 with the philanthropic support of The Ruffaydah Foundation and The Islamic Mission Hospital Trust.

Spread over 20 acres of land and located in the densely populated [[Korangi]] area, today The Indus Hospital is a symbol of hope for the most vulnerable members of our society.

It is the only initiative of its kind in Pakistan to provide premium health-care in an impressive, state-of-the art health center completely free to everyone.

The '''Indus Hospital''' is a tertiary care multidisciplinary [[hospital]] that was constructed in 2004 – 2007 and opened its door for the patients since July 2007. It is located in the heart of [[Korangi]], one of the densely populated areas in the mega city of [[Karachi]] with a population of around 18 million. It is the first paperless hospital in the country; the hospital has an e-cardiology system.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/570284/the-new-age-of-cardiology-heartbeats-turn-digital-at-countrys-first-paperless-hospital/|title=The new age of cardiology: Heartbeats turn digital at country’s first paperless hospital|work=Express Tribune|date=30 June 2013|accessdate=30 June 2013}}</ref>

This is the dream of [[Dr. Abdul Bari]] a very visionary doctor & one of the finest [[cardiac]] [[surgeon]] of Pakistan. Although he had been thinking this big thing since his professional career, however after getting training workshops from [[Timelenders]] the vision of The Indus Hospital was written & then achieved step by step.

Vision of The Indus Hospital says:
The Indus Hospital focuses on providing excellence-driven (as stipulated in the Islamic concept of Ehsan), comprehensive, free of cost, unconditional healthcare to the creations of Allah Swt.
The Indus Hospital is a not-for-profit entity and is funded by the Islamic concept of WAQF, Zakat, Khairat, Sadqat and sharing of excess wealth with the Ummah.
<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indushospital.org.pk/|title=Official website}}</ref>

The hospital itself encompasses a population of 2.5 million in its 5 kilometer radius. This state-of-art hospital is one of its kind providing quality health services absolutely free of cost to the patients and is being governed and funded by a well known [[philanthropy|philanthropic]] foundation. The phase one of this five billion [[rupee]] project has been completed and made functional with 150 bedded in-patient accommodation.

Presently the services that are being offered in outpatient or inpatient categories include [[nephrology]], [[urology]], [[cardiology]], [[cardiac surgery]], [[general medicine]], [[general surgery]], [[orthopedic surgery|orthopaedics]], [[Otolaryngology|ENT]], [[infectious disease]]s and pain management. The hospital is well equipped with an [[angiography]] suite, [[dialysis]] unit, [[lithotripsy]] suite, advanced [[interventional radiology]] setup, molecular lab, and a [[biosafety level|bio-safety level 3]] (BSL3) [[tuberculosis]] lab, besides the conventional necessities of a tertiary care hospital. It is the first ever “paperless” hospital established in [[Pakistan]] with a very user-friendly hospital management information system developed in-house. All of the medical records including history, examination, investigations, radiological images & reports, [[electrocardiography|electrocardiographies]], dialysis sessions, operative notes, nursing record like fluid balance charting and vital signs monitoring, etc. are recorded directly on to the computers with no element of hard copies.

The hospital has a Research Center with its own field workers along with a core team of [[epidemiology|epidemiologists]] and [[biostatistics|biostatisticians]]. The center is already working in collaboration with international universities and is quite capable of executing community outreach programs and later on, precisely analyzing the gathered data. It is also equipped with [[videoconferencing|video conference facilities]] enabling direct communication with universities and research centers worldwide. The hospital has full access to the National Digital Library (N.D.L.) set up under the aegis of The Higher Education Commission (H.E.C.). Through this program 45,000 online books and 23,000 journals are available to faculty, researchers and trainees at the Indus Hospital.

This is the first paperless hospital in [[Pakistan]] because there is no use of paper.

The journey doesn't stop here, expansion in the Korangi campus is going on. New expansion project is of 600 Billion Rupees, which will consist of 1500+ beds.
