SIUT started as 8 bedded ward in the Burns Ward of Civil Hospital. Later it was shifted to the third floor of Emergency Building of Civil Hospital. With the passage of time it was expanded and included urology and nephrology ward, operation theatre, lab, radiology, offices, stores, and transplant ward.
The old building of SIUT is now consists of 270 beds. It houses the main Emergency of SIUT comprising of 150 beds with dialysis and medical and critical care unit facility. The Adult Urology Department and main operation theatre are also included.
In 2012, a donor donated a hospital in the name of his wife Mehrunnisa to serve the patients free of cost. SIUT started its services in 2013 first with dialysis and later added several facilities there after equipping the hospital with latest technologies. SIUT Mehrunnisa Hospital offers daily outpatient services, dialysis unit with 60 machines, lithotripsy unit, operation theatre, lab abd radiology. The in-patient consists of 65 beds. The hospital also houses PET scan facility and Cyclotron, the only centre in public sector providing free services to diagnose the cancer.
Almost 50% of the patients at SIUT came from the interior of Sindh. Due to lack of infrastructure and meager health facilities in the rural areas of Sindh patients come to SIUT from far-flung areas. To provide healthcare facilities at the doorstep of patients in 2009 SIUT established a full-fledged hospital Chablani Medical Centre in Sukkur with the help of Government of Sindh so that patients from interior Sindh, lower Punjab and adjacent areas of Balochistan can be referred for early treatment without bearing the extra cost of travelling to Karachi.
SIUT Chablani Medical centre offers all treatment related to urology and nephrology which includes emergency, outpatient, lithotripsy service, dialysis unit with 65 machines and operation theatre. The in-patient consists of 100 beds with radiology and lab facilities. Recently two robots were installed to offer free robotic surgery to the rural population of Sindh.
SIUT Medical complex in Sukkur is a new milestone in SIUT’s Philosophy of “Free Treatment with Dignity” operational for the last 50 years. SIUT’s aim has been to take the facilities to the doorstep of the patient resulting in centers at Sukkur, Larkana, and Nawabshah.
SIUT established the Cheblani Medical Center in Sukkur over a decade ago with the help of the Sindh Government to cater for patients in Sukkur traveling to Karachi for treatment. The increasing volume of patients necessitated the establishment of a larger hospital with state of art facilities for Nephrology, Urology, Liver Diseases, and Patients with Cancer.
Honorable Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah was instrumental in the establishment of the Complex from building the boundary wall to the design and construction of the first phase of the complex. To achieve this aim SIUT was allotted land measuring 27.5 acres at Sukkur bypass.
