Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital (Urdu: ïþñéàùñóù ùÃÂÃÂÃÂï ÃÂóþêçÃÂ) is a charitable, non-profit teaching hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. Founded in 1997 by the Ghurki family, it evolved from a small clinic into a 650-bed facility serving over 1.5 million residents in Lahore's rural periphery. It offers free or subsidized care and has notable strengths in orthopedics, spinal surgery, and robotic cancer treatment via the CyberKnife unit. GTTH holds accreditations from the Pakistan Medical Commission, ISO 9001:2015, and AO Spine, and is affiliated with the University of Health Sciences, the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, and the Ghurki Medical and Dental College.
The hospital was created in memory of Haji Muhammad Asghar Ghurki, a former MNA known for civic service. His son, Khalid Javaid Ghurki (PPP MNA, 1993âÂÂ1996; Nazim of Wagah Town, 2005âÂÂ2009), was a founding trustee whose early leadership shaped GTTHâÂÂs mission. After his death in 2011, Samina Khalid Ghurki, his wife, current MNA, and former federal minister, took up active leadership, bolstering governance, fundraising, and visibility.
GTTH provides services across more than 23 departments, including:
GTTH provides 24/7 emergency services and extensive facilities including ICUs, modern operating theatres, hostels for staff, a cafeteria, prayer hall, executive wards, and water filtration. The hospital serves more than 112 nearby villages with free or subsidized treatment. Its spine department, led by Prof. Amer Aziz, is particularly renowned across Pakistan.
GTTH is affiliated with the University of Health Sciences, Lahore and recognized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan for postgraduate training. It also collaborates with Lahore Medical & Dental College as a teaching site. GTTH regularly hosts AO Spine training programs, medical workshops, and continuous professional development courses.
The Ghurki Medical and Dental College (GMDC) was established alongside GTTH to provide undergraduate medical and dental education. It is recognized by the Pakistan Medical Commission and affiliated with the University of Health Sciences, Lahore. GMDC offers programs such as MBBS and BDS, and its students receive clinical training directly at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital. The college has expanded GTTHâÂÂs role from a charitable hospital into a hub for both healthcare delivery and medical education.
GTTH actively runs outreach programs, including free health camps, kidney awareness drives, and womenâÂÂs health campaigns. In 2024âÂÂ2025, it launched initiatives such as free cochlear implant surgeries, large-scale awareness events, and partnerships with corporate donors like Bata Pakistan.
By mid-2025, GTTH had advertised new roles for neurosurgeons, senior medical officers, and nursing staff, signaling growth in both services and research capacity.
GTTH is run by the Ghurki Trust, registered under the Societies Act of 1860. It is funded primarily by donations, zakat, and international fundraising via the Ghurki Trust UK. Regular fundraising peaks occur during Ramadan and Eid.
