History

Bahawalpur is home to numerous medical facilities, including hospitals and clinics. Nonetheless, Bahawal Victoria Hospital is a significant player in this field. Providing medical services in various settings plays an essential role in the health care system. As a result, patients come to this hospital from around Bahawalpur Division, not just the neighbourhood around the hospital for more reading Bahawalpur.org.

It started as a Civil Hospital with an outdoor department, a dispensary, and an operating theatre in 1876. In 1906, this health unit was named Bahawal Victoria Hospital.[1] Now, it is a hub of clinical expertise both in specialties as well as in sub-specialties with a multitude of patients visiting the hospital. In 1952, a benevolent extension of Nursing School was brought about with an anticipation to render rash and prompt basic health amenities. Classes leading to L.S.M.F were also started in 1956.[2][3][4][5] Its nexus with Quaid e Azam Medical College (QAMC) in 1970 has transformed it into one of the largest tertiary care facilities in the province of Punjab.

The excellent medical staff is one of the best things about Bahawal Victoria Hospital. It does, however, make it possible for people to get help for any medical issue they face. A patient has the option of consulting either a male or female doctor.

It is now a 2200-bed, fully equipped, tertiary-care hospital with all medical and surgical specialities, serving large number of patients in south Punjab.[6][7] It facilitates undergraduate medical students of Quaid-e-Azam Medical College, nursing students of allied nursing school, paramedics and many post-graduate trainees.[8]
