The Pak-China Friendship Hospital has launched its first Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. This marks a major step in improving healthcare in Gwadar.
The hospital management made the announcement on April 22. The facility operates under the Indus Hospital and Health Network.
Specialized Care Now Available Locally
The new department will treat a wide range of digestive diseases. These include liver conditions, stomach disorders, and pancreatic issues.
Doctors will also manage common illnesses such as jaundice, ulcers, and chronic constipation. Patients with intestinal and esophageal problems can also receive care.
This service reduces the need for travel to major cities. Residents can now access treatment within their region.
Experienced Specialist Joins Team
The hospital has appointed Dr. Mohsin Ali Baloch as a consultant. He brings strong clinical experience in treating complex digestive and liver diseases.
He previously worked at Liaquat University Hospital in Hyderabad. His expertise will strengthen the new department.
Leadership Calls It a Major Milestone

He said the department will improve access to timely and quality treatment. Patients in Gwadar and nearby areas will benefit directly.
Future Plans for Advanced Services
The hospital plans to introduce endoscopy services soon. These services will improve diagnosis and treatment accuracy.
Advanced tools will help doctors detect conditions earlier. This will lead to better patient outcomes.
Wide Range of Existing Healthcare Services
The hospital already provides multiple medical services. These include family medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, and emergency care.
It also offers surgery, dermatology, ENT, and orthopedics. Diagnostic services include CT scans, ultrasound, and lab testing.
Patients can access dialysis, blood transfusions, and pharmacy services. The hospital operates emergency care 24/7.
Growing Impact Since 2022
The Indus Hospital and Health Network took over management in November 2022. Since then, the hospital has treated over 650,000 patients.
In 2025 alone, more than 400,000 patients received care. Services continue to expand in 2026.
Conclusion
The launch of this department strengthens healthcare access in Gwadar. It brings specialized treatment closer to local communities and improves overall medical support.
