As a part to provide comprehensive health care to the masses, the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) has moved forward as they plan to formally launch a full-fledged dialysis/lithotripsy centre very soon in the recently acquired hotel building located on Sharea Faisal.
In 2024 the SIUT acquired the multi-storey hotel building located in the most central part of the city. The aim before the SIUT to acquire the building was to solve the issue of space as its existing establishment was facing great a shortage of space to cope with the ever-increasing flow of the patients.
Soon after acquiring the building, it was converted into a SIUT Trust Hospital located on the main artery of Karachi. The covering area of the building is 13,200 square yards while total constructed area is 47,034 square yards. Currently, the SIUT Trust Hospital is equipped with 60-bed facilities and dialysis sessions are conducted on a daily basis. It is likely to be enhanced to 200 sessions per day.
The SIUT began its arduous journey in 1971 with only 8 beds at its disposal in the Civil Hospital building. By sheer dedication the team of the SIUT over the years made remarkable progress, established milestones one after the other providing state of the art treatment facilities in urology, nephrology hepatogastroenterology, paediatrics, including urology, nephrology and cardiology, and above all transplantation which is the flag ship of the institute.
The real hallmark of the SIUT is that they provide medical facilities to the masses completely free of cost and without any discrimination.
