DOCTORS HOSPITAL Lahore Medical & Dental College Lahore
This hospital is the brainchild of a group of Pakistani-American doctors who were working in the USA. Some of them relocated to Pakistan. With the utmost dedication they have supervised the construction and functioning of this hospital. Within a short space of time this hospital has become a center of excellence for health care in Pakistan. It caters patients not only locally from Lahore but also from other cities of Punjab and NWFP areas.
Located in a scenic setting near the canal bank, the building and decor can rival any five star facility in the western world. It uses sophisticated biomedical technology especially in the field of diagnostic imaging. The facility has Mammography, mobile X-ray, fluoroscopy, C-arms and a state of the art Cardiac cath laboratory. A Helical CT and an open MRI is among the state of art equipment available in the hospital. The Cardiac Surgery program is the best in Lahore. The Orthopedic Surgery department undertakes the most sophisticated surgeries that are available any where in the world and has obviated the need of patients to go abroad for orthopaedic procedures.
These surgeries can be seen live in the auditorium by senior students. Procedures are also beamed across the town to the main campus via Internet. The staff of Doctors Hospital have also been trained in America and England with several years of experience in teaching and training of residents.In order to make the services of the hospital easily accessible to the general public, a patient welfare auxiliary has been established to help fund the care of the needy both in inpatient and outpatient sections. An additional 150 bed inpatient facility along with ambulatory care is being constructed presently. As several of the partners are still based in America there is a free exchange of ideas in continuing medical education and transfer of technology that the students of Lahore Medical & Dental College can benefit from.
