About Us

The foundation for Saira Memorial Hospital was laid in in 1988 by Mr. Rafique Goheer, a Civil Engineer by profession, in the memory of his mother. The Hospital was established under the auspices and ownership of Islamic Educational & Welfare Trust with the primary objective of providing free and subsidized medical care to patients belonging to low-income families.

The founding father was acutely aware of the dismal situation of maternal and child healthcare and primary education in Pakistan. He was passionate to make a contribution in these sectors and for this purpose, donated a 4000 square yard plot in Model Town Extension for setting up this Hospital.

The Hospital commenced its Outdoor facility on October 01, 1992 with a single Medical Officer. While, funds for the construction of the Hospital and procurement of equipment were donated mostly by the Founding Chairman Mr. Rafique Goheer, his friends and members of the family, who shared his vision, were a great source of support as well.

Dr. Ali Atif Goheir, the son of the Founding Chairman and a UK trained Paediatric Surgeon, served as the CEO of the Hospital from 1998 until his demise in 2013. He set upon an ambitious plan to expand and upgrade the hospital facilities. It is entirely due to his untiring efforts that Saira Memorial Hospital today is a busy multidisciplinary institute with all major medical and surgical specialties including a state of the art Neo-natal and Adult Intensive Care Unit, diagnostic laboratory and a blood bank.

Saira Memorial Hospital has been in the forefront for providing high quality healthcare to  the general public  including those who are unable to afford quality healthcare. Our endeavour in all these   years, since we started our operations as a small Outdoor facility on October 01, 1992 with a single Medical Officer, has been to improve our facilities and provide best possible and compassionate care with to all those who seek care at our Hospital.

It is a matter of great satisfaction that Saira Memorial Hospital today is a busy 125 bed multidisciplinary institute with all major medical and surgical specialties including a state of the art Neo-natal and Adult Intensive Care Unit, diagnostic laboratory and a blood bank.

To improve our outcomes and patient experience we continue on our journey to achieve excellence and would like to express our appreciation to our friends have supporters who have always lend us a helping hand in this quest.

Chief Executive

All patients seeking care at Saira Memorial Hospital are provided the best possible care by the highly trained and committed staff. Patients are provided holistic care by our multidisciplinary teams. Our ethos is to treat the patients with dignity and respect and, to ensure that all possible efforts are made, to achieve the best clinical outcome for our patients.

Morning clinics serving the patients who are unable to afford the cost of their treatment are treated entirely free of cost, or on subsidized basis, depending on their particular circumstances. In the evening private consultants run their clinics and, the funds generated through this operation, are utilized to cater to the charitable activities of the Trust.

Working on this model since its inception, the Hospital is able to generate sufficient funds to sustain the delivery of subsidized and free healthcare to those who are in need of it.

Every month hundreds of patients receive free and subsidized indoor and outdoor treatment at Saira Memorial Hospital which includes major and minor surgical procedures, integrative cancer treatment, radiologic examination including,CT, colour Doppler ultrasonography, laboratory tests and provision of free medicines.
