Allah, the Almighty is the only creator and ruler of this universe and Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is His last Prophet. Prophet’s preaching is based on the golden principles of the Holly Quran, a complete code of life. Islam is not just for a particular group of the human beings, it is a perfect and eternal guidance for everyone.

As a philosophy rooted in the principles of humanity, Islam takes a doctor as a selfless soul, driven by the passion to heal the wounds of woe-stricken people. Inspired by this humanitarian thought, PIMA came into being in 1979 with the strength of fifty doctors. Today PIMA have 80 local units in all major districts across the country. Today PIMA’s has approximately 4 thousand doctors as its members encompassing many Lady Doctors and medical students.
