Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Guidelines for Patients

Since the World Health Organization declared the 2019 Novel Coronavirus a pandemic, we at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust are working tirelessly towards ensuring a safe environment for our patients and staff. All patients are requested to follow the guidelines shared below:

  • We encourage our patients to complete their Covid-19 vaccination as soon as possible.
  • Please avoid bringing along an attendant. If necessary, only one attendant will be allowed. Do not bring any attendants who feel sick with fever, cough, difficulty in breathing, sore throat or runny nose.
  • Wearing masks is no longer mandatory in our facilities. However, patients are encouraged to continue to wear surgical masks. If you have any queries related to your appointment, please visit ‘Getting an Appointment‘ or contact us at:
