Core Value

Hast thou not considered how God sets forth a parable? A good word is as a good tree: Its roots firm and its branches in the sky. It brings forth fruit in every season, by the Leave of its Lord. God sets forth parables for mankind, that haply they may remember. And the parable of a bad word is a bad tree: up-rooted from the face of the earth; it has no stability. [Qur’an 14: 24-27]

Primary Care Patient Demographics

Shifa Patient

“I have been coming to Shifa Clinic since 2013. My experience has been great and I’ve never met a group of people more caring than the people involved here. I love being a part of the learning process because the students here are so kind, patient, and respectful. They always want to listen and answer all my questions. The doctors who have seen me truly cared for my health and motivated me to get better. I will never forget one Shifa doctor who helped me quit smoking because before him I never thought I would have the strength to be able to.”
