The Indus Hospital (TIH), is state of the art, excellence driven, absolutely free of cost hospital. It is located at Korangi, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The hospital started its operations in July 2007.
History
The humble beginnings of The Indus Hospital can be traced back to the year 2005, when a group of dedicated doctors, philanthropists and businessmen came forward and pledged support for the disadvantaged communities in Karachi by establishing a state-of-the-art, free hospital.
Fueled 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.
Vision
This is the dream of Dr. Abdul Bari a very visionary doctor & one of the finest cardiac surgeon of Pakistan. He had been thinking this big thing since his professional career. He started many visionary projects like Patients Welfare Organization & few others. After getting training workshops & consulting from Timelenders the vision of The Indus Hospital was written & then achieved step by step. Suleman Ahmer and Yameenuddin Ahmed were continuously involved in the process of visioning. Kashif Ahmed & Kamran Zahid too are involved in trainings of the their staff.
Vision statement said "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)".
Funding
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. People & institutions across the globe contribute to The Indus Hospital. Many generous businessmen constantly donate to the cause.

Surroundings
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 philanthropic foundation. The phase one of this five billion rupee project has been completed and made functional with 150 bedded in-patient accommodation.
Paperless environment
The Indus Hospital has the distinction of being Pakistan's first paperless hospital. [2] From patient registration and appointments to complete medical records, all information is entered directly into a highly advanced Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) that was developed by their core team of Health Informatics professionals, doctors and surgeons. Apart from patient information, administrative processes are also recorded electronically on The Indus Hospital HMIS to ensure that the hospital runs on a completely paper free environment.
The software which has also been deployed by The Indus Hospital in NICVD hospitals on the government's request, is critical for the success as it ensures preservation of important data and enables us to manage systems and processes within the hospital efficiently and accurately.
It is the first ever “paperless” hospital established in Pakistan & first ever paperless ICU throughout world, with a very user-friendly hospital management information system developed in-house. All of the medical records including history, examination, investigations, radiological images & reports, 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.
