Our story

From primary care to a multispeciality hospital and rural cancer center.

Named after the well-known Unani physician of the early twentieth century who practiced in the region, the tertiary care facility was established in rural Northern Kashmir.

The hospital is supervised by a board of directors constituted by medical practitioners of the region, working with national and international advisors.

Phase I was commissioned in November 2001 as a unit of the Qudsiyya Health Care and Education Trust, Sopore. The hospital began with much-needed primary care and expanded to surgical care, a stroke rehabilitation center and a modern investigation block.

The Cancer Center provides medical oncology and basic surgical oncology services, with an ongoing goal of strengthening cancer care capacity.
