History

Civil Hospital, Hyderabad construction was completed with seven wards by 1894 at a cost of 88,173 rupees. [2]

A medical school had also subsequently started in the premises of the hospital. The medical school was upgraded to the status of a degree college, Sindh Medical College, in 1945. The medical college was later shifted to Karachi and renamed as Dow Medical College in order to avoid deregulation by University of Bombay. In place of it, Liaquat Medical College was started in 1951 in Civil Hospital which was later relocated to its new campus in Jamshoro. [2]

In 1963, another branch of the hospital in Jamshoro, Liaquat Medical College Hospital, designed by an Italian architect, was completed with 430 beds and started functioning as a teaching hospital.

Services

Initially established in 1881 to provide basic health facilities, the hospital has 2200 beds across various departments located in Hyderabad and Jamshoro.
