As we welcomed the new year; the year 2017 will be our 40th year of service. Fatima Memorial Hospital was launched in 1977 to serve communities regardless of their means to pay. What started out as a 200 bedded hospital for women and children is today a 510 bed tertiary care teaching hospital providing almost every specialty under one roof.
After 40 years of service we are proud to say that almost 82% of our patients are provided care on subsidized rates or treated free of cost. The 40 year journey came with its ups and down but we are proud of what we have achieved and we have kept our traditions alive.
Serving them iftari is one tradition we have not let go and we will not as these things are what makes us an institution that believes that every patient is a guest and we will have to take of our guests and their families.
Iftari is the mead served after breaking of Fast in the holy month of Ramazan and since the patients come from very poor backgrounds a proper meal is sometimes simply not possible thus we serve our patients and their families iftari.
Thank you for helping us keep our traditions alive.
