South waziristan - The hospital boasts of a kidney dialysis centre, infantile inoculation, operation theatres, admission wardens and intensive care units

The recently-opened Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak Hospital in South Waziristan, Pakistan, has already begun to change lives there. The hospital is providing advanced healthcare services to the citizens, including children, women and the elderly.
Tipped as a development project that has impacted the life of people in South Wazirstan, the Shaikha Fatima Hospital provides daily services to 300 patients at the emergency unit and to over 200 children at the preventive medicine section to offer treatment and polio vaccines.
Built as part of the UAE Project to Assist Pakistan (UAE PAP), the $5 million hospital sits on a 4,330-square-metre plot and has various facilities, including an outpatient clinic, gynecology, maternity, pediatrics and emergency departments. The hospital boasts of a kidney dialysis centre, infantile inoculation, operation theatres, admission wardens and intensive care units.
The hospital was inaugurated last July, in implementation of the directives of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to provide humanitarian and developmental assistance and support the health sector in Pakistan. The hospital was built on the follow-up of Shaikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs.
