Sunshine Healthcare · Specialized Medical Center
شفا کی نئی بلندی
Four hundred beds. Twelve floors, each with a specialty of its own. Care that meets people at the door of the city, not an hour past it.
Why Shahdra
Shahdra is the northern gateway of Lahore: the point where the city meets the river, the motorway and half of Punjab on its way in. Until now, serious care meant crossing the city. Sunshine puts a full tertiary hospital at the gate itself.
Directly at the Shahdra Interchange, where the roads from Gujranwala, Sheikhupura and the motorway enter the city.
Emergency to cardiac cath lab, maternity to dialysis, with diagnostics, laboratory and blood bank in the building.
An auditorium, library and training floors are part of the design. The institution is planned to grow doctors and nurses, not just receive patients.
