KARACHI: The Sindh Government’s commitment to public welfare has once again been underscored through the operations of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), where life-saving cardiac care has been made freely accessible to all citizens, regardless of their social or economic status.
Far from being merely a hospital, NICVD has emerged as a model of comprehensive public healthcare, offering a full spectrum of services—from emergency cardiac care to complex interventions such as angioplasty and bypass surgery—without imposing any financial burden on patients.

Officials highlighted that in 2025 alone, over 1.6 million patients received treatment at NICVD completely free of cost, a figure that reflects both the scale of demand for quality healthcare and the state’s capacity to meet it.
Sumeta Afzal Syed, a spokesperson for the Sindh government, noted that this achievement was made possible through sustained investment in modern facilities, expert staff, and patient-centered policies, all of which have transformed the institute into a beacon of inclusive healthcare.
Under the leadership of Bilaal Bhutto Zardari, the Sindh Government has consistently demonstrated that high-quality medical treatment need not be a privilege reserved for the wealthy. Heart disease, a condition that affects individuals across all walks of life, has been met at NICVD with an egalitarian approach: farmers, daily wage laborers, and office workers alike have received the same advanced care as the affluent.
Experts and patients alike have praised this model for placing people at the center of governance, turning what was once considered a luxury into a recognized right. The success of NICVD represents more than just statistics; it is a tangible reflection of policy choices that prioritize human life and dignity.
By combining accessibility with clinical excellence, the Sindh Government has set a benchmark for other provinces and countries seeking to deliver healthcare that is both equitable and effective.
