History edit
The foundation stone for Peshawar Institute of Cardiology was laid back in 2005, however construction and inauguration had faced delays due to political interference. Finally, on 16 December 2020, the hospital was officially inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Imran Khan.[2][3]
In 2023, over 61,000 patients were treated at the hospital, along with 4,000 Afghan patients.[4]
