 Aga
Khan University Hospital (AKUH) commenced its Clifton Medical Services
on January 1, 2004, as part of its objective of providing accessible,
compassionate and high quality health care to patients and their
families. Located at Clifton behind Indus Valley School of Art and
Architecture in Karachi, the facility is part of the Hospital's
outreach programme which aims to provide easy and convenient access
to patients residing in distant areas of the city. The opening of
Clifton Medical Services is a testament to AKU's rapid growth and
its aim of providing the best possible options for diagnosis of
disease and team management of patient care comparable to the best
medical centres.
