Aria Institute of Medical Sciences,Quetta was showcased by Voice of America Pashto, highlighting our dedication to enhancing healthcare standards for the local community and fostering job opportunities. Our workforce comprises 50% women, including an Afghan refugee Naznain, 1/2
Pediatric heart disease is prevalent among children in Balochistan due to various factors. The Aria Institute has taken the initiative to raise awareness and has conducted several free screening camps over the past two years. Moving forward, we plan to establish mechanisms to perform surgeries in Quetta at no cost. It is essential to build the local capacity of our doctors and staff to treat these children here, rather than sending them to other cities.
Thanks Babar S Hasan and Dr. Nadeem for your visit from SIUT,Karachi. More solid and practical collaboration coming soon ….
Significant Milestone! For the first time in Balochistan's history(largest province of Pakistan), a private hospital successfully conducted open-heart bypass surgery. The patient, a 52-year-old male with heart blockages, was initially advised to seek treatment outside the city. However, at Aria Hospital ,the CABG surgery was performed seamlessly, sparing the patient and their families the inconvenience, expenses, and emotional strain of traveling elsewhere. We are grateful to offer this vital service locally.
📢The team at our sister co @Invest2Innovate just announced #i2iEcosystem, a new initiative supported by the @Visa Foundation to bolster the #Pakistan startup ecosystem. This includes 3 components: (1) an investor-founder discovery platform, (2) curated meetups & events and 🥁:
I'll always remember the day in 2017, we had to urgently transport our mother to Karachi in an ambulance on a 10-hour journey. This experience is common in Quetta due to limited access to quality healthcare. Unless we take action, no one else will do it for us. In 2018, we undertook the challenging task of establishing a world-class facility in Quetta with the aim of delivering high-quality care closer to home.
Fast forward five years, and we are on the brink of opening our doors to a cutting-edge multi specialty facility equipped with digital health management systems, modern operating theaters, a cardiac catheterization lab, Siemens MRI and CT scan machines, and Roche diagnostic laboratory services. We are determined to prevent other families from going through what my mother experienced.
Crucially, congenital heart disease disproportionately affects underprivileged children, and there is currently no CHD facility in Balochistan and Afghanistan. Through our foundation, Aria for Life Foundation (which is tax-exempt in the US), we will offer free treatment for children with this condition. We initially started this journey alone, but we invite you to join hands with us to make it a success for our families and patients.

It's crucial to repost this video, highlighting the significance of both critical thinking and servant leadership. Servant leadership focuses on empowering and supporting others towards their potential, fostering inclusivity. Critical thinking complements this by promoting analysis, problem-solving, and open-mindedness. This synergy enhances decision-making, innovation, and individual and organizational growth—an essential shift in Pakistan's predominantly hierarchical leadership culture.

@SKhanMHCM I am in awe after watching the entire session video. I'm so grateful for you sharing it. Kudos to Dr. Sohailv(@SKhanMHCM) and NICVD for going the extra mile in not only saving lives but also taking research to another level of excellence.
@omar_quraishi Being Pakistani I would admit that one shouldn't draw comparisons between India and Pakistan when it comes to infrastructure; instead, watch Ibrar's WildLens video on YouTube to gain insight into how advanced India's infrastructure is.
