Pakistan Islamic Medical Association (PIMA) was established in October 1979 [1] .
The history dates back to 1979, when fifty doctors from all over Pakistan met at the Students Teachers Center (STC) of the Punjab University, Lahore, in October. They laid down the foundation of an organization named Pakistan Doctors Forum (PDF), a fraternity of the medical profession. PDF carried on its mission for two years, initially emphasizing organizational work and the membership drive. [2] It was April 1981, and the convention of PDF was held in Rawalpindi. This forum was renamed the "Pakistan Islamic Medical Association" (PIMA), and its constitution was approved. PIMA is an active member of the Federation of Islamic Medical Association (FIMA), an international forum for collaboration of all Islamic medical associations around the globe. In the journey through 25 years, PIMA has emerged as a strong forum for Muslim medical professionals to use their profession to help people in need and to provide relief to oppressed humanity in the country and around the globe.
Since its inception, PIMA has been striving to achieve its goals in the professional development and training of doctors while promoting an Islamic way of life through its regular Dawah (Islamic outreach) and training workshops and seminars. PIMA relief has consistently been at the forefront during national and global disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, cyclones, and wars. [3] PIMA has established medical institutions of international repute, contributing to quality medical, dental, and allied specialties. Through its regular contribution to health awareness, education, and community services, PIMA has been regularly struggling to upbringing the health of the masses. The health institutions of PIMA, like hospitals, clinics, free medical camps, and specialized campaigns, remained instrumental in alleviating the suffering of those who were otherwise not cared for. PIMA has developed specialized expertise in managing disasters of all sorts, whether artificial or natural. PIMA Project Prevention of Blindness Trust [4] has remarkable services for the prevention of blindness at national and international levels. PIMA established projects of international repute in collaboration with FIMA, [5] like the Consortium of Islamic Medical Colleges (CIMCO), Islamic Hospital Consortium (IHC), FIMA Save Vision, [6] FIMA Save Dignity and many other projects. PIMA's mega projects like Peshawar Medical College and Mega Pharmaceutical Industry are some of their achievements that serve the community at large.
