The story of a gap no one else was filling.

How a district’s shortage of trained healthcare professionals became South Punjab’s largest allied health, nursing, and pharmacy institute.

━ Our Story

A response to a gap no one else was filling.

Dr. Yahya Institute of Medical Sciences was founded in Layyah by Dr. Muhammad Yahya, a general and laparoscopic surgeon. South Punjab had the hospitals — but not the trained allied health professionals, nurses, and pharmacy staff to run them. DYIMS was built to close that gap: under one roof, with full national accreditation behind every program.

The DYIMS campus in Layyah — purpose-built for clinical and technical education, opened December 2021.

━ The Result

A purpose-built home for healthcare education.

Today DYIMS stands on a 4-acre, purpose-built campus on the Layyah–Chowk Azam Road — designed from the ground up for clinical and technical education, not adapted from a generic college building. It exists for one reason: to open credible healthcare careers for the young people of South Punjab, at home.
