AGA KHAN HOSPITAL&MEDICAL COLLEGE FOUNDATION

Aga Khan University Hospital and Medical College Foundation (often referred to collectively as Aga Khan University or AKU) is neither a factory nor a trader.

It is a private, independent, and self-governing university and healthcare system operating in Pakistan and other countries, established by His Highness the Aga Khan. As part of the broader Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), its primary mission is to improve the quality of life in the developing world. In Pakistan, it comprises a leading tertiary care hospital and a highly respected medical college, offering undergraduate and postgraduate education in medicine, nursing, and allied health sciences. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare services, conducting impactful research, and delivering world-class education, rather than manufacturing goods or engaging in commercial trading.

The Aga Khan Hospital and Medical College Foundation in Pakistan primarily provides healthcare and educational services, rather than manufacturing or selling commercial products.

Its main offerings include:

Healthcare services such as medical consultations, diagnostic testing, surgical procedures, emergency care, inpatient and outpatient treatment, and specialized medical services.

Educational services encompassing medical degree programs, nursing degree programs, and postgraduate medical training.

While the hospital dispenses pharmaceuticals and utilizes medical devices as part of patient care, these are generally purchased from external manufacturers and distributors, not produced or sold commercially by the foundation itself.
