Finding a reliable clinic or medical center in DHA Karachi is less about choosing the biggest name and more about matching the facility to the reason for your visit. A family may need a general physician close to home, a pediatrician for a child, a gynecologist, a specialist follow-up, blood tests, imaging, physiotherapy or a medical centre that can handle an urgent situation without travelling across Karachi.
Updated September 2026. DHA has a useful mix of DHA-run medical facilities, hospital-backed outpatient centres, private specialist clinics, polyclinics and diagnostic centres. This guide focuses on the options that are most practical for residents of Phases 5, 6, 7 and 8, while separating routine outpatient care from genuine emergency and hospital care.
For the broadest DHA-based medical facility, start by checking DHA Medical Centre, Phase 6. For hospital-backed outpatient consultations, AKUH Badar Commercial and OMI Clinics DHA are important options. For routine diagnostics, DHA also has established collection centres such as Chughtai DHA Sehar Centre. Consultant schedules and individual services can change, so confirm the required doctor or test before leaving home.

1. DHA Medical Centre — Khayaban-e-Rahat, Phase 6
DHA Medical Centre should be one of the first facilities DHA residents know about because it is operated within the DHA healthcare system rather than functioning only as a small appointment clinic. It is located at 38/A, 10th Street, Khayaban-e-Rahat, Phase 6.
DHA currently lists the centre as operating 24/7, with an emergency service and a separate consultant-clinic setup. Published facilities include general outpatient care, consultant clinics across multiple specialties, ECG, nebulization, childhood immunization, X-ray and ultrasound, a laboratory collection point, pharmacy, minor procedures under local anaesthesia, observation/ward facilities and ambulance transfer services.
This makes it particularly useful for Phase 6 residents who want more than a single-doctor clinic. A routine consultation, a diagnostic requirement and a pharmacy need may often be handled within the same healthcare ecosystem. Consultant timings are not the same as the centre’s overall operating hours, so appointments should still be confirmed in advance.
Location: 38/A, 10th Street, Khayaban-e-Rahat, DHA Phase 6
DHA-listed contacts: 021-35344201, 35344202, 35344208
Good starting point for: general medical care, consultant appointments, diagnostics and urgent DHA-area access.
2. Aga Khan University Hospital — DHA Badar Commercial Medical Centre
For families who prefer a major hospital network for routine outpatient care, AKUH’s DHA Medical Centre in Badar Commercial, Phase 5 Extension is one of the most useful options inside DHA.
AKUH currently lists consulting clinics for family medicine, dermatology, child specialist care, orthopaedics, endocrinology, and obstetrics and gynaecology. The same centre also has pharmacy services and a laboratory specimen-collection unit. This combination is practical for routine family appointments and recurring follow-ups where continuity with a larger hospital system matters.
The published clinic and pharmacy hours are Monday to Saturday, while the laboratory has extended collection hours and Sunday service. Exact consultant schedules can differ from the centre’s general opening hours.
Location: Shops 2, 3, 5 & 6, Plot 3-C, Badar Commercial Street 1, Phase 5 Extension
Appointments: 021-111-911-911
Good starting point for: family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, dermatology, endocrinology and routine lab work.
3. OMI Clinics — Main Khayaban-e-Bukhari, Phase 6
OMI Clinics – DHA is located off 34th Street on Main Khayaban-e-Bukhari in Phase 6. Its value is primarily as a specialist outpatient clinic connected with the wider OMI consultant network.
Current OMI department pages show selected consultants seeing patients at the DHA clinic in specialties including orthopaedics and urology, while other departments also route selected appointments through the DHA location. This can be convenient when a patient needs specialist follow-up but does not need to visit OMI’s main Saddar hospital for every appointment.
One important distinction: references to OMI’s 24/7 hospital and emergency services generally relate to the hospital system and should not automatically be assumed to mean every service is available round-the-clock at the DHA outpatient clinic. Confirm the DHA clinic appointment and location for the specific consultant before visiting.
Location: Off 34th Street, Main Khayaban-e-Bukhari, DHA Phase 6
DHA clinic contact: 0300-8116569
Good starting point for: scheduled specialist consultations and repeat follow-ups.
4. The Clinic & General Hospital — Badar Commercial, Phase 5
The Clinic & General Hospital at 28-C, Badar Commercial is another established healthcare address in Phase 5. Current appointment listings show women’s-health and sonology services at the location, including gynecology/obstetrics and ultrasound-related consultations.
This makes it particularly relevant to residents looking for a smaller local setup for selected women’s-health or imaging-related needs. Because independent clinic rosters can change more quickly than large hospital-network branches, confirm the current doctor, service and appointment time before visiting.
Location: 28-C, Badar Commercial, Phase 5
Good starting point for: selected gynecology, obstetrics and sonology appointments.
5. The Life Line Poly Clinic — Badar Commercial, Phase 5
The Life Line Poly Clinic is listed by the Sindh Healthcare Commission at 43-C, 5th Street, Badar Commercial, DHA Phase 5 as a polyclinic. Its presence reinforces why Badar Commercial functions as one of DHA’s stronger everyday healthcare pockets: residents can access multiple independent clinics, a major hospital-backed medical centre, pharmacies and diagnostics within a relatively compact commercial area.
For a polyclinic or independent practice, however, the useful question is not simply whether the facility exists—it is whether the doctor or specialty you need is practising there now. Confirm the current consultant roster and timing directly.
6. Chughtai Lab — DHA Sehar Centre, Phase 7
Not every medical visit requires a doctor consultation. For blood work and other laboratory requirements, Chughtai Lab’s DHA Sehar Centre gives Phase 7, Seher and nearby Jami-side residents a dedicated diagnostic access point.
The centre is currently listed at Plot 10-C, Shop 04, Sehar Commercial Avenue, Phase VII DHA. Before visiting, confirm whether the specific test is available at that branch, whether fasting or another preparation is required, and when the sample can be collected.
Location: Plot 10-C, Shop 04, Sehar Commercial Avenue, Phase 7
Listed contact: 0345-4014984
Good starting point for: routine laboratory and specimen-collection needs.
7. Medicell Clinic — Zamzama, Phase 5
Medicell Clinic is currently listed on 9th Zamzama Street in Defence Phase 5. It represents the smaller independent-clinic side of DHA healthcare: potentially convenient for a particular doctor or appointment, but not something to treat as equivalent to a large multi-specialty medical centre.
If you are visiting an independent clinic because of a specific consultant, verify that doctor’s current DHA practice location and timing first. In Karachi, consultants commonly practise at more than one facility and schedules can move between branches.

Healthcare Access by DHA Area
Phase 5 & Badar Commercial
Badar Commercial is one of the most useful outpatient healthcare pockets in DHA. AKUH’s medical centre, independent clinics and nearby pharmacies give residents several options without leaving the phase. Zamzama also adds independent specialist practices and clinics.
Phase 6 & Bukhari / Rahat
Phase 6 has perhaps the strongest all-round DHA healthcare access because DHA Medical Centre on Khayaban-e-Rahat and OMI Clinics near Bukhari serve different needs. Shahbaz, Bukhari, Nishat and nearby commercial areas also contain pharmacies, dental practices and independent specialist clinics.
Phase 7 & Seher
Seher Commercial gives Phase 7 residents direct diagnostic access and quick road connectivity toward Phase 6 clinics. For many Jami- and Seher-side residents, a Phase 6 doctor may still be a short practical drive.
Phase 8
Phase 8 is large enough that healthcare convenience depends heavily on the exact zone. Residents closer to Khayaban-e-Ittehad can reach Phase 6 facilities relatively directly, while the deeper waterfront and Emaar side should be evaluated by actual driving route rather than simply by phase number. For hospital-level care, residents may also use nearby Clifton facilities depending on urgency and the required specialty.
Before Booking a Clinic Appointment
- Confirm the doctor is at that branch. A consultant’s name appearing online does not guarantee the same daily location.
- Ask whether an appointment is required. Specialist clinics often run only at defined times.
- Confirm diagnostics separately. A medical centre may have a lab but not every imaging test or procedure.
- Ask about pharmacy availability if you expect to fill a prescription immediately after consultation.
- For children or elderly patients, check drop-off and access rather than judging only by distance.
- For an emergency, use an appropriate emergency-capable facility. Do not assume every neighbourhood clinic can manage hospital-level emergencies.
Clinics vs Hospitals: Know the Difference
A medical centre can be excellent for routine consultations, tests and follow-ups, but a serious emergency, major procedure or inpatient requirement may need a full hospital. Our separate Hospitals Near DHA Karachi guide covers hospital-level options. For medicines, see Pharmacies & Medical Stores in DHA Karachi; for dentistry, use Dental Clinics in DHA Karachi.
Healthcare Access When Moving Within DHA
For most buyers or tenants, healthcare is one part of a wider lifestyle decision rather than the only reason to choose a phase. But for households with young children, elderly parents or recurring specialist appointments, the difference between a five-minute and a twenty-five-minute medical trip can matter.
Phase 5 and Phase 6 currently offer the deepest combination of clinics, medical centres, pharmacies and routes toward Clifton hospitals. Phase 7 benefits from its connection to the same corridor, while Phase 8 should be assessed zone by zone. Our Life in DHA Karachi guide covers schools, shopping, dining and other everyday considerations alongside healthcare.
