What Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital does

Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital (GTTH) is a 650-bed, PMDC-recognized, ISO 9001:2018 certified tertiary care teaching hospital located on GT Road Batapur, Jallo More, Lahore, Pakistan. Founded after humanitarian Abdul Sattar Edhi laid its foundation stone in 1994, the hospital began operations in 1995 and operates as a charitable trust governed by a board under Prof. Dr. Amer Aziz as Chairman. It serves a population exceeding 1.5 million across 102 adjoining villages with a workforce of approximately 2,000 medical and paramedical professionals, delivering free and subsidized treatment irrespective of financial capacity.

GTTH runs 27+ specialized clinical departments including Pakistan's first dedicated Orthopaedic and Spine Center (13,000-19,994 surgeries annually, 250 beds, 10 German-made modular operation theatres operating 24/7), the country's second and Punjab's first CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System (treating 1,300+ cancer patients free of cost), a 15-bed Dialysis Center, a Cardiac Center with full catheterization laboratory, NICU with 24 beds, ICU with 18 beds, and comprehensive Radiology (MRI 1.5 Tesla, 77,000+ exams annually), Pathology, and Pharmacy services.

The business model is non-profit and donation-funded: revenue streams comprise charitable contributions (Zakat, Sadqah, individual and corporate donations channeled via Pakistani banks plus UK Lloyds Bank and US Zelle accounts), subsidized patient services for those who can pay, and revenue from postgraduate medical education programs affiliated with University of Health Sciences, College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, and Lahore Medical and Dental College. In 2025, the hospital delivered USD 21.48 million of free and subsidized treatment. The institution extends its footprint through international donor offices in Manchester, UK and Sunrise, Florida, US, and operates the Ghurki College of Health Sciences and the Ghurki Journal of Medical and Health Sciences as adjacent ecosystem assets.
