Khyber
Teaching
Hospital,
formerly
Hayat
Shaheed
Teaching
Hospital,
was
established
in
1976
as
a
training
and
biomedical
research
facility
for
the
medical
students
of
the
North
Western
region
of
Pakistan,
as
well
as
the
new
teaching
affiliate
of
the
best
medical
school
in
the
region,
Khyber
Medical
College.
Khyber
Teaching
Hospital
has
developed
into
a
major
health
care
facility
in
the
region
The
hospital
was
commissioned
in
1976
for
the
development
of
scientific
and
research
base
of
the
Province.
It
is
an
architectural
marvel
shaped
in
an
octagon
with
extensions
of
Y
shaped
wings
that
form
a
wide
number
of
its
inpatient
units.
The
present
capacity
of
beds
is
1202,
with
incremental
increases
every
few
years.
As
of
September
2013,
a
major
revamp
and
reconstruction
of
its
emergency
facilities
is
underway
with
a
multi-storeyed
building
for
the
proposed
Emergency
Department
and
Emergency
Medicine
Fellowship
Program.
To
facilitate
smooth
influx
and
patient
transport,
recently
constructed
under
ground
passage
and
the
over-head
bridge
have
made
safer
the
smooth
flow
of
patients
and
students
between
KMC,
Institute
of
Radiotherapy
and
Nuclear
Medicine
(IRNUM)
and
KTH.
From
1976
to
2000,
constant
up-gradations
have
taken
place
within
the
developmental
phases
of
the
3
tertiary
care
hospitals
of
the
city.
As
a
result,
these
institutions
have
been
transformed
into
more
effective,
viable
and
productive
institutions
benefiting
patients,
undergraduate
and
postgraduate
trainees
and
are
playing
major
role
in
the
human
resource
development
in
the
health
sector
for
the
region.
Khyber
Medical
College,
the
first
medical
school
of
the
province,
came
into
existence
in
February,
1954.
Fulfillment
of
the
Pakistan
Medical
and
Dental
Council
requirements
necessitated
the
creation
of
a
Teaching
Hospital.
Initially
Lady
Reading
Hospital
Peshawar,
the
then
district
headquarters
hospital,
was
utilized
for
the
purpose.
But
sooner
the
need
was
felt
to
have
a
teaching
hospital
in
close
proximity
to
the
college.
Plan
for
such
a
hospital
was
initiated
in
1958
and
the
idea
finally
materialized,
when
General
Mohammad
Musa,
the
Governor
West
Pakistan,
laid
the
foundation
stone
of
Khyber
Teaching
Hospital
(at
that
time
named
as
Ayub
Teaching
Hospital)
on
30
November
1967.
Khyber
Medical
College,
an
undergraduate
institution,
has
been
improving
the
quality
of
service
provided
to
the
patients.
Through
its
various
teaching
departments
it
has
upgraded
the
quality
service
program.
The
provincial
assembly
of
North
West
Frontier
Province
has
passed
the
act
for
upgradation
of
Khyber
Medical
College
and
Khyber
College
of
Dentistry
to
Khyber
Medical
University
(KMU)
Peshawar.
Khyber
College
of
Dentistry
as
department
of
Dentistry
was
created
in
1964.
It
was
upgraded
from
the
status
of
a
department
of
Khyber
Medical
College
in
1990.
Dr.
Ahmad
Iqbal
was
appointed
as
first
Chairman
and
Principal
of
the
Khyber
College
of
Dentistry.
The
first
batch
graduated
in
1968
and
Pakistan
medical
and
dental
council
accorded
recognition
to
B.D.S
degree
in
Nov
1968.
From
the
modest
start
it
has
grown
to
become
a
fully
developed
teaching
institute
with
its
modern
Oral
and
Dental
hospital.
Surgeries,
Operation
theater
and
wards
were
included
in
its
building
with
pace
of
time.
School
of
Nursing
Khyber
Teaching
Hospital
also
works
as
an
allied
institution
with
KTH
for
training
of
student
nurses
since
inception
of
the
institution.
The
examination
and
award
of
degree
for
Khyber
Medical
College,
Khyber
College
of
Dentistry,
B.Sc
Nursing
is
performed
by
University
of
Peshawar,
whereas
for
Nursing
School
the
job
is
done
by
the
Board
of
Nursing
Peshawar.
