Overview

About the program

The Lady Health Visitor (LHV) diploma is a two-year program for women who want to work at the front line of maternal and child healthcare in Pakistan. Students study maternal and child health, community health nursing and primary healthcare — first in the classroom and Skill Lab at our Johar Town campus, and then through supervised clinical training at Gulab Devi Hospital, Lahore.

Qualified LHVs are needed across Punjab and the whole country. Graduates typically serve in Basic Health Units (BHUs) and Rural Health Centres (RHCs), in the maternal and child health departments of hospitals, and in community health programs. For many students, the LHV diploma is also a stepping stone to further study in nursing and midwifery.
