A Leading Health Care Institue of Pakistan.
Soon after Independence, about half a century ago, the Red Cross Fete Committee, which was chaired by Syed Wajid Ali, raised about Rs. 8 lakhs through Meena Bazaars organized under the guidance of Begum Rana Liaquat Ali Khan. At a fateful meeting chaired by Begum Rana Liaquat Ali Khan, the Committee decided to establish a hospital in Karachi under the name "The National Hospital".
His Excellency Mr. Ghulam Muhammad, the Governor General of Pakistan, laid the foundation stone of "The National Hospital" on February 23, 1953. In memory of Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan, the first Prime Minister of Pakistan who was assassinated in 1951, it was decided to rename "The National Hospital" as "Liaquat National Hospital".
