Located in a low-income eastern outskirt of Karachi, Indus hospital — the largest campus of his chain — alone caters to more than 2,500 deprived patients every day, free of charge. An expatriate Pakistani donated the land to Khan and his friends, who with the assistance of local philanthropists finally established the hospital in 2007. The chain comprises 12 hospitals, of which four are directly under the control of Indus hospital, whereas another eight are operating under public-private partnership. The 400-bed Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital Trust in the Muzaffargarh district, located some 380 kilometers (236 miles) from Lahore, was gifted by Turkey to Pakistan in 2014. The hospital chain is also running an outreach programme through small clinics, to provide primary health facilities, in remote 24 districts of the country.
