I welcome you here at the Shaukat Khanum Institute of Health Sciences (SKIHS), established in 2003 to train nurses. The institute’s building, known as the Begum Mir Faculty of Nursing, was built in honour of Mr. Rehman Mir’s mother.
SKIHS believes in providing quality education in line with the SKMCH&RC’s mission. Through problem-based, practical teaching and learning activities, the faculty at SKIHS seeks to deliver student-centred learning to improve the overall learning experience. To accomplish this goal, we employ cutting-edge instructional techniques in the classroom, lab, and clinical settings. Under the accrediting criteria, we are working to deliver the best educational outcomes while improving constantly.
Our goal at SKIHS is to train nurses who, in addition to being knowledgeable, skilled, and specialized in their field, will also uphold professional and ethical standards throughout the patient’s care. This will enable them to deliver safe and effective nursing care to patients, their families and society and lead healthcare systems in future.
