Princess Zahra inaugurates Aga Khan Health Centre in Aliabad

Princess Zahra on Thursday, May  23, attended the inauguration of the purpose-built Aga Khan Health Centre in Aliabad, a new facility that aims to boost the quality of healthcare in the region.

Equipped with the latest medical technologies and staffed by highly trained healthcare professionals, the new centre is a major step forward in the infrastructure of Aliabad and the surrounding area, bringing timely and effective medical services closer to the community.

To ensure residents receive the best possible care, the new centre is equipped with digital-health services, an accident and emergency department, a high-dependency unit, and comprehensive obstetric and neonatal services. The new building also houses residence facilities for doctors and nurses.

In the hub and spokes model that the Aga Khan Health Service has adopted in Pakistan, the centre is linked to the Aga Khan Hospital in Gilgit for referrals, while Aliabad itself serves as a sub-hub for nine basic health centres in Hunza and Nagar. The facility also provides digital health services where tele-consultations for psychiatry and dermatology are offered to patients.
