AKU is a major component of Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), which consists of institutions that collaborate for development in response to social, economic and cultural challenges in specific regions of the developing world.

With this new development, AKU aims to strengthen existing partnerships with the ministries of health and other universities in the region offering health sciences education, with a view to share experiences, strengthen public sector delivery systems and collaborate on teaching and research.
AKUH,N’s new Heart and Cancer Centre (HCC) has recently become operational. The Centre provides high quality care to patients afflicted with heart and cancer diseases in a high-tech and comfortable environment.
