Healthcare providers in Sindh can now register their facilities from the comfort of their own offices, there is no need to visit the SHCC in person. In a significant move towards digital governance, the Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC) has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Sindh Business One Stop Shop (SBOSS) under the World Bank-funded CLICK Project. This partnership aims to fully digitize the registration and licensing process for healthcare establishments across the province.
Chairman SHCC, Dr. Khalid Hussain Shaikh, praised the initiative, calling it a major leap towards transforming public service delivery. “We are proud to enter the digital age with a solution that puts accessibility and efficiency first,” he said. Behzad Amir Memon, Project Director, CLICK, appreciated the collaborative effort between SBOSS and SHCC teams, highlighting the Government of Sindh’s broader vision of transitioning from manual to digital services to ensure user convenience and transparency.
