Our Legacy & Operations
Evolving from a local unit into a multi-site pediatric surgical powerhouse.
A Legacy of Consistent Growth
The Department of Pediatric Surgery has followed a trajectory of continuous development since its inception, consistently expanding capacity to safeguard the region’s youngest lives.
Establishment at Jamshoro
Our journey began with the founding ward at Jamshoro. This initial unit featured a 14-bed general ward, two weekly Outpatient Department (OPD) sessions, and dedicated operation theatre lists.
Hyderabad City Expansion
Strategic expansion led to the inauguration of the Hyderabad city ward. This modern ward added a 14-bed general recovery room and a highly specialized 8-bed Pediatric Surgical Intensive Care Unit (PSICU).

Across nearly three decades of development, the department has maintained a proud record of saving lives, upgrading infrastructure, and expanding its academic residency training programs.
