Novacare Expands Nationwide Healthcare Network with New Lahore Project
Summary: Novacare has issued a clarification regarding recent media reports about its projects, reaffirming that it has been affiliated with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust — not Imperial College London — since March 2024 under the Trust’s International Affiliate Network. The partnership supports Novacare’s 250-bed tertiary hospital in Islamabad, now over 50% complete and set to open in Q4 2026. As part of its national expansion, Novacare has also been allotted land in CBD NSIT Lahore for its second project — an Academic Medical Centre combining healthcare, education, research, and innovation. The Lahore project will mirror the scale and quality of the Islamabad facility, furthering Novacare’s mission to establish a world-class healthcare network across Pakistan.
We wish to clarify and nuance recent media reports and social media posts mischaracterizing the entities and relationships involved in Novacare’s upcoming project at CBD NSIT Lahore.

Under the Trust’s International Affiliate network, expert multidisciplinary teams from the Trust work with aspirational healthcare organisations like Novacare to help them establish and develop high-quality clinical standards and practices. Novacare was the second entity globally to join this International Affiliate Network.
Novacare seeks to build a nationwide healthcare network across Pakistan. As part of its national expansion, Novacare has been allotted land in CBD NSIT Lahore for its second project — an Academic Medical Centre integrating healthcare provision, education, research, and innovation within a world-class setting, benefiting from the cutting-edge technological and academic ecosystem under development by the Government of Punjab.
The project in Lahore will be similar in scale, quality and structure to Novacare’s Islamabad project, and Novacare intends to build upon its wider collaboration framework with the Trust.

It is important to distinguish between Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Imperial College London. The Trust is a UK National Health Service (NHS) organization, operating five major hospitals in London and leading one of the UK’s largest teaching hospital groups. Imperial College London is a separate academic institution; while the two work together and collaborate closely in several areas, the university is not involved in the Trust’s International Affiliate Network, and hence issued a statement refuting its presence in Pakistan.
