Fatima Jinnah Medical University (Urdu: جامعہ طبی فاطمہ جناح), previously known as Balak Ram Medical College, is a public medical university located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.
Fatima Jinnah Medical University with its associated teaching hospital Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, is a medical institution to teach and train female doctors and post-graduate students and provide medical and healthcare facilities to the citizens of the country, particularly in and around Lahore, and more particularly to the female population. It is now a tertiary healthcare unit and is recognised by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.[1][2]
Sir Ganga Ram Hospital was established in 1921 in the walled city of Lahore by a philanthropist Sir Ganga Ram who also donated a piece of land. The hospital was shifted to its present location in 1943 to cope with the growing demand for medical and health care services.[3]
On 30 June 2015 the Health Department of Pakistan changed the status of the Medical College to the Medical University and the current principal was made the vice chancellor of the university.[4]
