A dedicated children’s hospital in Hayatabad, Peshawar

Learn. Question. Lead.

A place where child health knowledge grows.

KICH is a teaching institution as well as a hospital. Our academic programmes prepare health professionals for the realities of paediatric care, while research helps us improve it.

Training that stays connected to the bedside.

KICH was planned as an institute, not only a hospital. That distinction matters: academic learning is part of the institution’s purpose, and clinical teams are part of how students learn.

Our programmes combine structured teaching with exposure to paediatric services, multidisciplinary teams and the everyday questions that arise in caring for children and families.

  • Postgraduate and allied health programmes
  • Clinical teaching across paediatric services
  • Research and quality improvement activity
