PIMA has developed specialized expertise in managing disasters of all sorts, whether artificial or natural. PIMA Project Prevention of Blindness Trust has remarkable services for the prevention of blindness at national and International Levels. PIMA established projects of international repute in collaboration with FIMA, like the Consortium of Islamic Medical Colleges (CIMCO), Islamic Hospital Consortium (IHC), FIMA Save Vision, FIMA Save Dignity and many other projects. PIMA's mega projects like Peshawar Medical College and Mega Pharmaceutical Industry are remarkable achievements serving the community at large.

History
The history dates back to 1979, when fifty doctors from all over Pakistan met at Students Teachers Center (STC) of the Punjab University, Lahore, in October. They laid down the foundation of an organization named Pakistan Doctors Forum (PDF), a fraternity of the medical profession. PDF carried on its mission for two years, initially emphasizing organizational work and the membership drive. It was April 1981, and the convention of PDF was held in Rawalpindi. This forum was renamed as the "Pakistan Islamic Medical Association" (PIMA), and its constitution was approved. PIMA is an active member of the Federation of Islamic Medical Association (FIMA), an international forum for collaboration of all Islamic medical associations around the globe. In the journey through 25 years, PIMA has emerged as a strong forum for Muslim medical professionals to excel in their profession, and ethics and provide relief to oppressed humanity in the country and around the globe.
