Dr. M. Kamran Khan Associate Professor of Peads Urology (Director)
Established in 2007, the Institute of Kidney Diseases (IKD) is
the first specialized tertiary care hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, serving as
a successful model for other specialties to emulate.
The remarkable success of IKD is attributed to the visionaries
who identified the need for such an institution, the senior clinicians who
played a pivotal role in its development and operation, and the invaluable
contributions of the medical and auxiliary staff who have been instrumental
throughout this journey.
The primary objective of IKD is not only to provide
state-of-the-art facilities for patient care but also to serve as a hub for
training medical professionals, thereby enhancing patient care. Moreover, the
institution is committed to raising public awareness about the prevention of
kidney-related ailments.
The extraordinary growth of nearly 700% in outpatient visits
over the past decade is a testament to the public's confidence in our
performance. IKD offers a comprehensive range of services, including Urology,
Kidney Transplantation, and Nephrology.
IKD takes pride in having trained a record number of specialist
doctors and medical staff in Urology and Nephrology, including professionals
from Afghanistan. Additionally, the institution boasts a significant number of
medical publications, a remarkable achievement considering the demanding
clinical workload.
With generous support from the government, IKD provides free
dialysis and kidney transplant services, a landmark achievement in assisting
underprivileged patients. However, given the government's limited resources, we
aim to generate additional funding without burdening the economically
disadvantaged. In this regard, the role of philanthropists is highly
appreciated.
Our vision is to transform IKD into a center of excellence, not
only in patient care and disease prevention but also as a leader in medical
research and training. A key milestone in this journey is achieving the
standards set by the Joint Commission International (JCI), which remains a
focal point as we strive for continuous improvement.
