History
Dr Fareed Uddin Baqai and his wife Dr Zahida Baqai were medical practitioners and surgeons who had been educated in Pakistan and the United Kingdom and began to practice in Karachi, which at that time was the capital. In the late 1960s, the Baqaians started a private sector hospital in Nazimabad, Karachi, the Baqai Hospital Nazimabad, which became a general hospital with 350 beds and modern facilities aimed at middle-income private patients, also doing charitable work.
In 1976 the Baqai Foundation acquired land on the outskirts of Karachi, on the M-9 Super Highway. The Baqais founded the Baqai Medical Complex.
They convinced the government that health delivery could be through a programme of community-oriented medical education. This stimulated them to plan a medical college. In 1988, the first MBBS students were admitted, although it was not until 1990 that the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council formally permitted the college to start clinical teaching at Baqai Hospital, Nazimabad. In 1992, the Baqai Foundation went on to establish the Baqai Dental College, the first such college for the huge city of Karachi.
