The department of Nephrology at LGH is one of the emerging units in Lahore. It was started in October 2016 as a separate department under the supervision of Dr. Augangzeb Afzal and leadership of Prof. Ghias-un-Nabi Tayyab. Since the unit continue to lead the way of improving patient care. It comprises of 14 inpatient beds and 34 bedded HD units which is providing state of the art medical care for our nephrology patient.
