The doctors and the nurses are borrowed from the Army Medical Corps, Army Dental Corps and Armed Forces Nursing Services of Pakistan Army. However, lately the Air force has also started to induct the doctors directly. Soon after the inauguration of its first ever medical college here in Air University Islamabad, there was a dire need to meet the requirements of medical students and patients. Pakistan Air Force in Islamabad launched a state of the art 600 bed Hospital providing medical, surgical, gynae, urology, cardiology, ENT, eye, radiology, pathology, dermatology, psychiatry, and physiotherapy services. PAF Hospital Islamabad Unit 2 is open for general public, it is not specifically for the uniform personnel.
