About NCCI – Cancer Hospital in Saddar Karachi

Neurospinal & Cancer Care Institute (NCCI) is a cancer and neurosurgery hospital in Saddar, Karachi. It runs under the M. Hashim Memorial Trust, a non-profit, and has been treating patients since 1995.

The hospital started as the Neurospinal and Medical Institute (NMI). It was renamed NCCI in 2008, when Gamma Knife and Synergy radiosurgery were installed. NCCI’s Gamma Knife was the first in Pakistan.

Brain tumours and other brain conditions are treated with Gamma Knife. Tumours elsewhere in the body are treated with Synergy-S, a LINAC-based system for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT/SABR). For diagnosis and staging, we have a 64-slice PET-CT scanner with its own cyclotron, a 1.5T MRI, an Open MRI for patients who can’t tolerate a closed scanner, CT, mammography, ultrasound and DEXA.

Consultants in clinical and radiation oncology, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging, Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology, Medical Oncology, Medical & Allied Services general surgery, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology, Cardiology / Interventional, Cardiology. Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Gynecology, Neurology/EEG/EMG/NCV, Obstetrics, Orthopedic Surgery, Otolaryngology, (ENT), Pathology, Pulmonology, Urology, and internal medicine work from the same building. Scans, consultation and treatment planning happen in one place, so patients don’t have to move between hospitals.

NCCI was founded by Prof. A. Sattar M. Hashim, a neurosurgeon with over forty years of experience and a former Professor of Neurosurgery at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. Since 1990, the M. Hashim Memorial Trust, registered with the Government of Sindh, has funded cancer treatment for patients who cannot afford it. Zakat and donations are accepted.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Neurospinal and Cancer Care Institute (formerly Neurospinal& Medical Institute NMI) is the realization of a dream that I conceived during the initial years of my training as a neurosurgeon, to lay down the foundation of an institute that would make a meaningful contribution to society and provide exceptional medical care to the masses.

With a career in Neurosurgery and Neuro-oncological Surgery spanning over forty years, I stand here grateful to Allah, despite being from a humble background, having met a few gracious souls who guided me in my journey of life towards this dream that I have achieved although I do feel that I still have a long road ahead of me and a lot more needs to be done. The most important of these souls was my esteemed fatherwho solicited inspiration and taught me the value of discipline, perseverance and a regulated life. 

As I am sure you would know that cancer is a major public health problem and a significant financial burden on the individuals and families affected by this disease. This is the reason in the West the emphasis is now more inclined towards early detection of cancer and its prevention and better treatment options.
