History
[edit]The foundation stone for Peshawar Institute of Cardiology was laid back in 2005, however construction and inauguration had faced delays due to political interference. Finally, on 16 December 2020 with a total expenditure of Rs3 billion or US$18.7 million, the hospital was officially inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Imran Khan.[2][3]
In 2023, over 61,000 patients were treated at the hospital, along with 4,000 Afghan patients.[4]
