Education is one of the most important facets of human evolution. It steers one from darkness to radiance. Businessman Hospital Trust is constantly striving to broaden its facilities to a full fledge academic institution with diverse educational programmes under the tutelage of Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences. The aim is to produce health care professionals who are prepared to assume responsibilities in the primary, secondary and tertiary care of the people, in rural and urban areas as doctors, nurses & allied health professionals. With rapid advances in medical technology, changing pattern of diseases, increase in life expectancy, need for geriatric care, and rise in public awareness, there is unprecedented demand for competent and superbly trained nurses, thus making them the backbone of healthcare care system. For the past decade Shalamar Nursing College, one of the best nursing colleges in Pakistan, continues to develop innovative programme in nursing education and patient care, to the international standards. Undoubtedly Allied Health professionals play a vital role in the overall ambit of health care system. For the past few years there has been a paradigm shift among students opting for professional courses at under-graduate level with an ever increasing numbers opting for Allied Health Sciences. Establishment of Shalamar School of Allied Health Sciences is yet another endeavor by the Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences to contribute towards this essential element of health care. In the end let me reiterate; the source of our passion is our mission, which is centered on education, research, and compassionate health care service. We are proud of our work. I wish you all the very best in your pursuit of educational goals.
