The Aga Khan Secondary Hospital, Kharadar (AKHW&C), also known as Aga Khan Hospital for Women and Children, Kharadar, formerly known as Janbai Maternity Home, is a non-profit hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.[1] It is one of the oldest hospital in Karachi.[2]
History[edit]
It was established in 1924 as Janbai Maternity Home by Ismaili philanthropists, Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III and Vazir Bundeh Ali Kassim.[3][4][5] It was named after Jan Bai Kassim as Janbai Kassim Vali Khoja Ismailia Maternity Home.[5][6]
In 2010, it was merged with the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) to provide healthcare to diverse Karachi communities.[7]
Situated in historic premises near Karachi port in a densely populated part of old Karachi, the hospital spans two campuses divided by a road.[7] The Janbai Building houses general wards, private rooms, operating theaters, diagnostics, and pharmacy for inpatients, while the Aga Khan Diagnostic Centre accommodates clinics, laboratory, and diagnostics for outpatients.[7]
