About Us

Shifa International Hospital provides a series of major and minor surgeries under its head department of General Surgery. The department is housed by seasoned professionals who have extensive hands-on experience in performing simple to complex surgeries with intensive care and dedication.
At Shifa International, we try to update our patients with the procedures they are going through so that they get to know about the precautions they have to take during or after surgery. This skillful education leads our patients to a quick recovery and peace of mind.
