“We have done an extensive study of all reputable genset manufacturers and selected mtu gensets from Rolls-Royce due to their high fuel efficiency and excellent sales and aftersales support from R.A. Engineering & Services here in Pakistan,” said Sajid Hazrat Khan, Electrical Managers, IHHN.
“The gensets offer a high availability and reliability of power with long maintenance intervals. These technical and performance capabilities of the mtu gensets, along with low lifecycle costs made Rolls-Royce the best choice for IHHN”, said Bahir Olcay from Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
Starting with only one hospital in Karachi in 2007, IHHN has now evolved and has been working to improve healthcare in Pakistan. IHHN consists of 13 hospitals – five owned and managed by IHHN, and eight managed by the Network under the umbrella of public-private partnership – plus four regional blood centers, four physical and rehabilitation centers, Pakistan’s largest Pediatric Oncology Unit, primary care centres, and a large number of public health initiatives across the nation.
IHHN has set up container-based community health centers in Sindh and Punjab and a ‘Boat Clinic’ to serve the population of Southern Punjab. The Network is currently serving more than 450,000 patients monthly.
