The entire country was turned upside down when the covid-19 virus attacked. Because of the virus's novelty, little was known about its treatment. With the passage of time, doctors and scientists developed new techniques to treat the fatal condition. As soon as AKUH received its first covid patient in February 2020, it acted accordingly and built a fully functional and specialised covid treatment ward. As Karachi's leading private hospital, the AKUH is known for its infection control techniques. These safeguards were taken to a new level during the epidemic since the hospital prioritises the safety of its personnel and patients. The hospital was one of the few authorised hospitals to do the covid diagnostic test when the virus struck in early 2020.
The AKUH swiftly created Teleconsultation clinics as a socially responsible hospital to ensure that its aim of providing high-quality treatment was not jeopardised. Even test samples were collected from people's homes during the pandemic so that they didn't have to leave their homes.
Apart from that, the hospital has been active on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, to educate the public about the virus. Various myths and misconceptions must be refuted in order to avert excessively unpleasant circumstances. The institution also took part in the Covid-19 Vaccine Clinical Trial, which helped to fight the devastating disease. The hospital has been quite active in encouraging people to be vaccinated in order to battle the illness.
