Burhani Hospital was initially established as a dispensary in 1913,[2] for the treatment of Influenza which had spread in Karachi as an epidemic.[3] The dispensary was later upgraded as Marvi Maternity Home. In 1978, Mohammed Burhanuddin converted the facilities to a full-fledged general hospital to be managed by Burhani Medical Board.

In 2006 a major expansion program was launched under the guidance of Mohammed Burhanuddin. Phase 1 of the hospital expansion project was completed and has been operating since March 2010.

The outlay for the 4 floors has been designed by Mr. Maqsood Alvi who has the distinction of designing portions of the Aga Khan Hospital, Karachi.
