Isra University Welfare Hospital

Introduction
Hyderabad, the second largest city of Sindh, along with surrounding districts has population of 2.0 million. It is hub of healthcare and education for the rural Sindh who converge to Hyderabad for these services.

The private sector in healthcare bears the burnt of onslaught of the rural community. This sector, however, is costly on one hand and lacks in standardization in hygiene and competency of health personnel. Moreover, the services that demand
huge investment on outlay or bring less revenue are generally not available in this setup. As a result people have either to travel to Karachi or be content with whatever is available here.

Facility
Isra University Welfare Hospital (IUWH) is another step forward in providing quality healthcare to the needy at nominal price in all fields of medicine & surgery.

Qualified and experienced medical and nursing staff mans IUWH.
Professors and consultants of Isra University (IU) and Isra University Hospital supervise over the IUWH staff.
