The Aga Khan University inaugurated the Jenabai Hussainali Shariff Building on its sprawling 84-acre Stadium Road campus in the hub of Karachi today.
Located right next to the main Hospital entrance to the campus, the five-floor, approximately 132,000-square-foot JHS Building – part of an ambitious expansion plan that envisages a series of ambulatory care buildings along the southern end of the campus – will allow the University Hospital to significantly expand the health care services it offers. The building will house outpatient clinics providing medical, same-day surgery and chemotherapy services.
The building was constructed over a two-year period starting October 2010 with generous donations cumulating to US$ 14.5 million from individuals and donor groups in Karachi and abroad, and from the hospital’s own contribution.
