No deaf child in Pakistan should be left in silence due to financial hardship. Discover how families can access free and funded cochlear implants through the KPK Sehat Card, Chief Minister Punjab Program, Balochistan Welfare Program, and Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal under the surgical leadership of Prof. Dr. Maqbool Ahmed Baloch.
When a child is born with profound sensorineural hearing loss, conventional hearing aids cannot help because the microscopic hair cells in the cochlea are absent or non-functional.
A Cochlear Implant is a life-changing medical device that directly bypasses damaged inner ear hair cells to stimulate the auditory nerve, allowing a deaf child to hear environmental sounds, recognize parents' voices, and develop natural, fluent spoken language.
The human brain's speech and language center develops rapidly in the first 3 years of life. Implantation before age 3 allows deaf children to attend regular schools and lead normal, independent lives.
Specialized provincial health initiatives provide device funding and subsidized surgical care for eligible residents.
Federal grant programs, including Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal, support eligible patients across all regions of Pakistan.
Over 1,500 independent cochlear surgeries, diagnostic evaluations (BERA, CT, MRI), and required medical board certification.
Full post-surgical rehabilitation and speech therapy to ensure your child learns to speak clearly.
Patients from across Pakistan can access official government grants and welfare support for life-changing cochlear implant surgery.
With over 22 years of surgical excellence, Dr. Maqbool has helped hundreds of deaf children gain hearing across Pakistan.

Yes. Deserving children across Pakistan can access funded cochlear implants through the KPK Sehat Card (for KPK residents), Chief Minister Punjab Cochlear Implant Program (for Punjab residents), Balochistan Welfare Program (for Balochistan residents), and Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (for eligible patients nationwide). Prof. Dr. Maqbool Ahmed Baloch provides the essential medical board evaluations and surgical certifications to process these applications.
The best surgical age is between 9 months and 3 years old, and ideally before age 5, while the brain's language center is highly adaptable. While older children can also undergo surgery, early intervention yields the fastest and most natural conversational speech development.
Qualification depends on the program: KPK families apply through the Sehat Card system, Punjab residents through the Chief Minister Program, Balochistan families via provincial welfare channels, and patients nationwide through Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal. Once complete audiological tests (BERA, HRCT, MRI) and Dr. Maqbool's surgical recommendation are completed, the respective committee clears funding. Our clinical team assists parents throughout the process.
Yes! With regular post-operative Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) and parental encouragement, implanted children learn to comprehend sounds, talk fluently, and attend mainstream schools alongside normal-hearing peers.
Simply reach out to our clinic team via WhatsApp at +92 333 5550235 or call 051-234 0033. Share any existing hearing tests or BERA reports you have, and we will schedule an in-person assessment at PAF Hospital Islamabad, Crescent Plaza G-8, RMI Peshawar, or Shahida Islam Medical Complex Lodhran.
