Pakistan Islamic Medical Association (PIMA), is a Pakistani doctors' association established in October 1979.[1]

History

[edit]

The organization was founded by fifty Pakistani doctors who met at the Student-Teacher Center (STC) of the University of the Punjab in October 1979. This group laid the foundation for the Pakistan Doctors' Forum (PDF), a fraternity of medical professionals. The PDF continued to operate for two more years. In April 1981, during a PDF convention in Rawalpindi, the organization was renamed the "Pakistan Islamic Medical Association," abbreviated as PIMA. PIMA is an active member of the Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA), an international forum for collaboration among Islamic medical associations. PIMA has been operating for 25 years as a medical institute serving the residents of Pakistan.

Activities

[edit]

Since its inception, PIMA has strived to achieve its goals in the professional development and training of doctors while promoting an Islamic way of life through its regular Dawah, training workshops, and seminars. PIMA relief has consistently been at the forefront during national and global disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, cyclones, and wars.[2] PIMA has established medical institutions of international repute, contributing to quality medical, dental, and allied specialties.

PIMA health institutions, such as hospitals, clinics, free medical camps, and specialized campaigns, offer medical for those in need around their designated locations. The Prevention of Blindness Trust,[3] a key PIMA project, aids in the prevention of blindness in both Pakistan and internationally. PIMA has collaborated with FIMA,[4] such as on the Consortium of Islamic Medical Colleges (CIMCO), Islamic Hospital Consortium (IHC), FIMA Save Vision,[5] FIMA Save Dignity, and other joint missions. Megaprojects such as the Peshawar Medical College and the Mega Pharmaceutical Industry are some notable accomplishments.
