What about Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad ?

I think it's one of elite private hospitals in the country.
You visit the place and you find Afghan patients everywhere.

We have expat Pakistanis leaving US to visit Oakistan and have some prodedures done. We have many fantastic doctors and facilities - cheaper by US standard but still way too expensive for the common man
 
.
And mr. @Pluralist should I share the pictures of Mayo, Ganga Raam, Alied Hospital, Nishtar Hospital and etc etc...Agha Khan's charges are not affordable by a common man bhai..

This is not true. There is an outpatient department where the charges are extremely reasonable. The tests could cost you a lot, but you can go to outside labs if you don't have the money... but the results might not be as reliable.

Same is the case in india..however telangana and Andhra Pradesh govts sponsor free treatment for some diseases through private hospitals through a scheme called aarogya sri.
The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia page of aarogya sri

The benefit to the family is on a floater basis i.e. the total reimbursement of Rs.1.50 lakhs can be availed individually or collectively by members of the family. An additional sum of Rs 50,000 is provided as a buffer to take care of expenses if it exceeds the original sum i.e. Rs 1.50 lakhs per family. Excepting cost for cochlear implant surgery with auditory-verbal therapy is reimbursed by the trust up to a maximum of Rs.6.50 lakhs per case.

All transactions are cashless for covered procedures. A BPL (below poverty line)beneficiary can go to any hospital either public or private and come out without making any payment to the hospital for the procedures covered under the scheme. The same is the case for diagnostics, if eventually the patient does not end up in undergoing the surgery or therapy.

Hospitals are mandated to conduct free health camp, thereby taking advanced evaluation at the doorstep of patient

Same is here in KPK province,

Pakistan doesnt have any top notch hospital in its public health care system. The demand of the rich for quality health care is catered to by entrepreneurial health professionals who open up private hospitals that provide reasonably good service at inflated prices.
The day my cousin finished his med school he demanded Rs 25,00,000 from his father to open up a hospital with his friends. I mean the rich will pay through the nose to get quality health care in Pakistan. Thats why private medical business is very profitable right now.

@JungleBook, @Chavainist, will you please stop sprouting nonsense and answer the question.

The answer is that pretty much every city (and all districts) have several first class hospitals. Healthcare is (like any other country) a continuing challenge, its not a puzzle to be solved.

Basically healthcare can be divided into three

1) The Free ones at Government hospitals; you have an entitlements depending on your residency; for example Health Care is free at PIMS and Poly Clinic Islamabad.

2) The entitlement hospitals; basically those which are run by departments for their people, like the Military Hospitals (serving, retired military personnel and their spouses, and kids under 26/girls till married if born before 2000).

3) Private Healthcare; this includes for profit, charity and the whole thing.


Generally, the quality is good everywhere. (And before someone comes to me with anecdotes about their mothers cousins's son), I mean generally, that ill people do get timely access to appropriate healthcare.

@JungkeBook, I had to laugh at your story about your "cousin". He demanded 25 Million to start a hospital? Don't make me laugh, for 25 million, you can barely buy a couple of basic health machines. And no one in their right mind will let anyone fresh out of medical school see any patient, you don't become a doctor by finishing ,medical school, its the forst bloody step, there is still the House job, board exams, basically 3-4 years of work.

Is that a govt hospital? Does it look as clean outside as it does inside?the cleanliness of indian govt hospitals is pathetic


Yes it is well maintained and very clean from Inside as well, being in the federal capital also means it gets enough funds.
