The hospital was born out of a tragic history of personal bereavement. Maulvi Feroz-ud-din, a prominent scholar, lost his young wife, Kaneez Fatima, during childbirth in 1917, due to a severe lack of adequate medical facilities.
In 1944, he founded the Ferozsons Trust with an initial cash endowment along with all the proceeds from his books. The aims of this Trust were to provide quality medical care to the under-privileged of society on a non-profit, self-sustaining basis and to promote the education and social development of the community. The fulfillment of this vision began in 1971, when his son and daughter-in-law, Dr. Abdul Waheed and Begum Saida Waheed donated all their assets towards the construction of s hospital for women and children. In 1977 it started as a 200 bed community hospital for women and children care. By the Grace of God Almighty in Year 2000 Fatima Memorial Hospital transformed into a 510 bed multi-specialty tertiary care teaching hospital.
Fatima Memorial Hospital believes in service excellence and quality health care to the ailing humanity. Core philosophy of functioning of Fatima Memorial Hospital is cross subsidization where funds generated from affording patients are utilized for the benefit of underprivileged and indigents.
