Aga Khan Secondary Hospital, Kharadar, Karachi

The Aga Khan Secondary Hospital, Kharadar (AKHW&C) was inaugurated in 1924 as the Janbai Maternity Home. The hospital's legal integration with the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) took place in 2010. The purpose was to create a high quality setup that would enable people from various areas of Karachi to get quality care services. The Hospital is certified by ISO 9001:2015, and ensures that quality care in safe environment is made available to people at the hospital. This setup also supports the system of referrals to main campus, medical centres and diagnostic centres.
