The Kidney Centre in Karachi is a not for profit specialized hospital focused on kidney and related diseases, and it is widely associated with the architectural practice Arshad Shahid Abdulla, led by Arshad Abdulla and Shahid Abdulla. The institution began functioning in 1985 with a small dialysis unit of two machines, planned with a longer term vision that included provision for a much larger hospital capacity.
Over time, The Kidney Centre expanded into a 100 bed facility offering a broader range of nephrology, urology, and kidney transplant related services, reflecting a steady growth model supported by philanthropy and institutional development. The project is frequently referenced among the firm’s landmark works in Karachi, positioning it as a major healthcare building in their portfolio.
