Shifa International Hospital at Islamabad

History

The residency program at Shifa international Hospital was started in 2011. College of Physicians and Surgeon Pakistan approved Emergency Medicine as a discipline for the training in 2010. Consultants of Shifa International Hospital and Aga Khan hospital worked hard to make it a success. After getting approved, the team building started with one Internal Medicine consultant and one Emergency Medicine consultant. The emergency department grew from less than 10 beds in 2009 to 50 bed strength approved by the end of 2016. With initial hiccoughs now we have a trainee strength of 24 in total and 5 consultants including one Pediatric consultant. First induction was in 2012 and then subsequently a regular induction takes place since then.
