By Naseem Shekhani
The Memon Medical Institute
being established in Karachi will be 330-bed hospital and
a state of the art facility. The Institute is being built
near the University of Karachi about 8 kilometers from the
Karachi International Airport.
The Memon Medical Institute will serve the local population
in general and will eventually be a tertiary care facility.
The total cost of the project is estimated at 985 million
rupees. More than half of this amount has been contributed
by members of the Memon community.
Mr. Peer Mohammad Diwan, chair of the board; Mr. Ajaz Saya,
Chief Executive Officer; and Dr. Tufail have worked with demonstrable
zest for the establishment of the Institute. Basic structure
of the first building has been completed. Interior designing
and finishing are planned to be completed by summer 2008.
