The Peshawar Institute of Cardiology (PIC) has reaffirmed its firm commitment to delivering advanced cardiac care to patients across the region during celebrations marking Pakistan's 79th Independence Day on 14 August 2025. Hospital administration and medical staff gathered at the facility in Peshawar for a special cake-cutting ceremony, using the national milestone to renew their pledge for medical excellence.
Patients and attendants at the specialized medical facility have long relied on its specialized services for cardiovascular ailments. By emphasizing advanced cardiac care, the administration aims to ensure that affordable, modern medical technology remains accessible to citizens suffering from heart diseases without requiring them to travel to other provinces for major procedures.
Focusing on Modern Medical Standards
The leadership at the Peshawar Institute of Cardiology highlighted that upgrading diagnostic and surgical units is a top priority for the upcoming fiscal period. Heart disease remains one of the leading health concerns in Pakistan, making regional specialized institutes critical for saving lives. The renewed pledge includes reducing waiting lists for angiography and angioplasty procedures, alongside expanding outpatient department (OPD) capacities to handle rising patient influxes from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and adjacent tribal districts.
