The authority also approved the establishment of the National Institute of Heart Diseases (NIHD), costing around Rs.7.9 bn. The project entails a preventative research and development centre for cardio vascular diseases. The development project aims at providing advanced preventive research, reducing the burden of treatment on the community.

The institute was established in 1965, becoming Pakistan’s first oncology institute for providing cancer-related medical facilities to the district of Jamshoro and its surrounding region.
