Pakistan. It is a modern and progressive facility that manufactures and markets leading

herbal pharmaceutical company. It was conceptualized 75 years ago by the venerated
eastern poet Allama Muhammad Iqbal. Its inception was in the shape of a clinic at
Beadon Road in the city of Lahore, in the heart of Punjab, which was opened by Shifa-
ul-Mulk Hakim Muhammad Hassan Qarshi, He was a practitioner of herbal medicine
and health supplements. The clinic was started with a view to provide pure and effective
herbal medicines to the general populace.
In 1968 the youngest son of Shifa-ul-Mulk, Mr.Iqbal Ahmed Qarshi after completing
M.S.C in Chemical Engineering, laid the foundations of QarshiDawakhana that has now
evolved into Qarshi Industries, a modern and successful company that outweighs by far,
the expectations of its original founder.

its image as a quality-conscious company and has, over the year, demonstrated its firm
