It is a state owned Hospital for cardiovascular checkup & treatment. It was established in 1978. It has a great reputation for some heart diseases specialists but it over crowded. Treatment expanse at low cost make's this popular. The institute introduced Post Graduate medical courses On July 1988. However it is the best place in the city for the cardiovascular treatment in affordable range

There are many specialist Cardiovascular Doctor are available here. But the maximum stuff will not help you if you don't pay them. If you wanna get a bed outside of ward or corridor you have to pay for them. Otherwise I don't think you can get any bed for your patient. Doctor are good enough for your treatment but they are not friendly. Nurse also care about the patient but sometimes after evening you cannot reach any duty doctor on 3rd or 4th floor ward. You have to take your patient by stretcher or wheelchair to the Doctor after evening and the stuff who take your patient you have to pay them. You don't have to pay much for those services but if you don't pay them first time i don't think they will give any service for next time. I don't think the poor patient get any help from them. There everywhere the it's messy(unclean) and also you can called this dirty in the Ward

Since its inception in 1963, the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) has played a pivotal role in caring for patients with heart disease in Pakistan. NICVD is the first tertiary cardiac care institute in South Asia as well as the flagship facility for cardiology in Pakistan with a focus on superior care for patients, education and training for medical professionals, and research and development in cardiology. NICVD caters to the cardiovascular needs of a vast majority of patients from all provinces of Pakistan as well as Afghan refugees and patients from other neighboring countries. It is responsible for training the bulk of local cardiac physicians, nurses and paramedics throughout the country. History Emerging from the small Central Heart Clinic in Ward 10 of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) in 1956, National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases has been the primary heart-care provider for Pakistanis for over 50 years. With support from the Government of Pakistan, USAID and the Japanese Government, NICVD became a fully functional tertiary cardiac-care centre on 14th August, 1971. For the following eight years, NICVD remained a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) but in 1979 it was nationalized by the Government of Pakistan and became an Autonomous Body under the Federal Ministry of Health. The present Governing Body of NICVD comes under the Government of Sindh with the Honorable Chief Minister of Sindh as the Chairman of the Board of Governors. The Executive Director of NICVD maintains the role of Secretary of the Board of Governors and Chief Executive Officer of the Institute and Chairman of the Academic Faculty.
