This document explores the integration of Unani medicine into Pakistan’s healthcare system, highlighting the critical role played by two major private sector actors: the Hamdard Foundation and the Qarshi Foundation. It provides historical context on the philosophical roots of Unani medicine, its principles, and its development through Islamic civilization. The document outlines how Unani is regulated and supported in Pakistan through national legislation, such as the 1965 Unani, Ayurvedic, and Homeopathic Practitioners Act, and policy frameworks. It showcases the extensive contributions of Hamdard and Qarshi in expanding access to Unani services, producing herbal medicines, offering medical education and research, and preserving traditional knowledge. Through clinics, universities, research centers, and charitable initiatives, both organizations have helped institutionalize Unani medicine as a vital part of Pakistan’s public health landscape.
