IHN treats about 200,000 patients monthly and the strategic partnership with Martin Dow group will help IHN to serve more patients. The inauguration ceremony took place on December 24, 2018, at The Indus Hospital (TIH), Korangi.

Jawed Akhai, Founding Chairman, Martin Dow Group for his utmost support to the cause of the Indus Hospital. He was actively involved with IHN in extending a helping hand for the marginalized segment of the society. We value his exceptional contribution and would always remember his untiring efforts to help the poor and needy of the country.”
Mr. A. Sattar Akhai, Group Chairman, Martin Dow Group inaugurated the facility and Mr. Ali Akhai, Chairman, Martin Dow Group addressed the gathering. He said, “Technology drives healthcare more than any other force, and in the future, it will continue to develop in dramatic ways.

Martin Dow Group will continue supporting initiatives like these to strengthen the healthcare system of Pakistan”.
Dr. Saba Jamal, Director of Indus Blood Center elaborated, “The new Alinity system is a hi-tech and advanced automation system which will increase Indus Hospital’s capacity to perform the diagnostic analysis.
