The Infrastructure Development Authority of the Punjab (IDAP) was given the responsibility of establishing this world class facility. The groundbreaking for this vital project took place on August 14, 2015 with the aim of providing a modern, advanced, innovative facility where treatment would be provided free of cost to the financially underprivileged and which would eventually become the biggest transplant center in the world. The first phase of this ambitious project was completed on time and was inaugurated on December 25, 2017.

476 beds were provided in Phase I of the project along with all major infrastructure, equipment procurement, radiological services and energy center. The facility is now functioning as an advanced care institute specializing in the prevention, diagnosis and the treatment of kidney, liver and bladder diseases. PKLI also provides top quality training to medical personnel and doctors are conducting cutting-edge research to further increase knowledge in these areas. Additionally, PKLI & RC is also supported by a province-wide network of Hepatitis Prevention and Treatment Program (HPTP) clinics.
