London's Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust will provide
specialist knowledge and advice on hospital planning, staffing
and training to Novacare. In turn, affiliate fees from services
will be reinvested back into Imperial's NHS services.
The hospital is designed to offer comprehensive care across 28
clinical specialties, including cardiology, oncology,
orthopaedics, neurology, and maternal health. It is set to open
in 2026 and will feature advanced infrastructure such as smart
building management systems, AI-optimised vertical
transportation, and infection control and fall prevention
technologies.
British High Commissioner, Jane Marriott CMG OBE,
said:
“This agreement is bringing the UK's world leading healthcare
expertise to Pakistan, and in turn support the UK's NHS. Through
sharing the NHS's cutting edge clinical best practices, and
through helping to develop staff, this agreement will directly
help to save lives.”
This partnership strengthens the UK's global healthcare
leadership by exporting NHS clinical standards and expertise. It
includes opportunities for Novacare clinicians to observe
multidisciplinary team meetings, receive second opinions from UK
specialists, and undergo training aligned with NHS protocols.
Complex cases may also be referred to Imperial's private
facilities in London, enhancing revenue for UK healthcare
institutions.
Her Excellency visited the construction of the hospital with the
UK Trade Envoy to Pakistan, MP, who is on a 3-day visit
to Pakistan. Following a tour of the site, she met with:
- Johannes Kedzierski, CEO, Novacare
- Faraz Minai, Director, Novacare and CEO, Andalus Holdings
- Ghalib Hafiz, Director, Novacare and Partner, Andalus
Holdings
- Mustafa Hassan, Director, Novacare
- Qaiser Rafiq, Project Director, Novacare
The Novacare Islamabad site, based in DHA Phase, will be a
15-minute journey from the Blue Zone by the time the hospital
opens.
