The Peshawar Institute of Cardiology (PIC) has successfully provided life-saving, free-of-cost treatment to 40 children suffering from complex congenital and acquired heart diseases. This milestone reflects PIC’s growing expertise and dedication to children’s cardiac care.

Advanced Device-Based Procedures Conducted in One Week

In a focused week-long campaign, PIC conducted 75 device-based interventions, many of which treated the 40 children. These minimally invasive procedures allowed closure of congenital heart defects such as ventricular septal defects and atrial septal defects, helping restore normal cardiac function.

Collaborative Pediatric Cardiology with Global Experts

This initiative was strengthened by collaboration with international pediatric cardiologists from multiple countries who worked alongside PIC’s local teams to perform highly specialized cardiac procedures for children.

Ongoing Commitment to Pediatric Cardiac Excellence

The Peshawar Institute of Cardiology has become a major center for pediatric cardiology in the region. In the past year, over 9,000 children visited the pediatric outpatient department. More than 450 underwent angiographies or angioplasties, and over 400 children received surgical interventions, demonstrating a high volume of specialized pediatric cardiac care.

Beacon of Hope for Orphaned and Underprivileged Children

PIC continues to expand its charitable efforts, offering free cardiac treatment to orphaned and underprivileged children. Recent partnerships and humanitarian agreements have enabled the treatment of more than 150 children without any cost to their families.

State-of-the-Art Facilities and Regional Reach

As the first ISO-certified cardiac hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PIC features world-class technology such as CT, MRI, and advanced cardiac imaging. The institute also leads in innovative procedures, being the first in Pakistan to perform LA appendage closure and Rotablator Plus interventions. It serves not only Pakistani patients but also those traveling from Afghanistan and other regions

PIC’s Growing Pediatric Cardiology Impact

With a focus on high-quality, compassionate care, PIC continues to expand its role as a leading center for pediatric cardiac services. By hosting international experts, increasing weekly surgical volumes, and strengthening outreach to underserved communities, PIC is shaping the future of heart care for children in Pakistan.
