About me

 Establishment and Growth

Established in 1978 by Syed Manzoor Shah Hamdani, Qamar-ul-Islam Hospital (QIH) is located in Khayaban-e-Jami, DHA/Clifton, Karachi, Pakistan. It has evolved from a small polyclinic to a notable hospital staffed with professional medical personnel. QIH is a 50-bed charitable hospital serving a vast population with limited resources. It features most specialist clinics and many essential hospital services. However, it continues to strive to add more doctors, machinery, and equipment.

QIH aims to offer differentiated, high-quality healthcare to those for whom this basic necessity is out of reach. Despite limited resources, QIH strives to expand its services, adding more doctors, machinery, and equipment to better serve the community.

Founder’s Legacy

The founder, the late Syed Manzoor Shah Hamdani (1933-2019), was a notable social reformer, humanitarian, and philanthropist. He left an indelible mark on the lives of those around him with his benign attitude towards the destitute and his contributions to the poor. He garnered significant achievements in the health and education sectors, serving humanity regardless of their backgrounds with the help of other philanthropists. After establishing Qamar-ul-Islam, it quickly became well-known as the city’s most renowned doctors successfully carried out their practices and surgeries for the deprived. Various free medical camps were set up in rural areas of Pakistan. It is with the laborious efforts of Syed Manzoor Shah Hamdani that a charitable organization like QIH could make an impact. He was laid to rest in June 2019.

Current Leadership

Director Moin Hamdani, following in his father’s footsteps, has always shown the same affection and dedication towards others, continuously striving for their betterment within society. He has been part of the QIH family for a long time and has played a vital role in making QIH a prominent organization within the community through the recruitment of esteemed doctors and his strong administrative capabilities.

During his time as Administrator at QIH almost 15 years ago, the hospital became coveted by all patients who were attracted to its hospitality, service, and concessions. Various free medical camps were conducted in different regions of the country. His acclaimed administration led him to manage international hospitals in the UAE. His expertise in the hospital industry allowed him to gain exposure to different people in the UAE and globally. After spending 15 years in the UAE, he has returned to Qamar-ul-Islam to cater to the needs of the people and provide them with free healthcare services.
