History

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Postgraduate Paramedical Institute was established in 1998 by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department. The institute was initially housed at a rented space at Lady Reading Hospital. In 2007, the University of Peshawar granted affiliation for four-year B.Sc Honours degree courses, but the affiliation was withdrawn after one session due to legal issues.

The institute has since been upgraded with a state-of-the-art, purpose-built campus adjacent to the Provincial Health Services Academy. The new campus is conveniently located just off the Northern Bypass interchange at Motorway M1, Peshawar.
