If you are an MBBS doctor in Pakistan looking to build a career in cardiovascular medicine, surgery, or anesthesia, SICVD Training Positions 2026 is one of the most significant medical career opportunities of the year. Sindh Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (SICVD), operating under the National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) Building in Karachi, has announced training and contractual positions through its Postgraduate Medical Education Department. What makes SICVD Training Positions 2026 particularly noteworthy is its geographic reach — positions are available not just in Karachi but across multiple SICVD centres spread throughout Sindh, giving doctors from smaller cities an equal chance to train at a premier cardiac institution without relocating to the provincial capital.
About SICVD – Sindh Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases
The Sindh Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases is one of Sindh’s leading cardiac care and training institutions. Unlike many other cardiac hospitals concentrated in Karachi alone, SICVD operates a network of centres across the province, including Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Tando Muhammad Khan, Lyari, Baldia, Sehwan, Nawabshah, Mithi, Khairpur, and its CPU Network. This decentralised model makes SICVD unique in Pakistan’s healthcare landscape — it takes specialised cardiac training directly to underserved regions of the province.
The Postgraduate Medical Education Department at SICVD runs structured training programmes affiliated with CPSP for FCPS candidates and is recognised by PMDC. Training here means hands-on exposure to high volumes of cardiac cases across diverse patient populations, guided by experienced faculty in a structured, merit-based environment.
Training Centres Covered
Before diving into positions, it is important to understand where you could be posted. SICVD’s training positions are distributed across the following centres:
- Sukkur
- Hyderabad
- Larkana
- Baldia
- Tando Muhammad Khan
- All Centres (including CPU Network cities: Lyari, Sehwan, Nawabshah, Mithi, Khairpur)

Why SICVD Is Worth Considering
For many Pakistani doctors, the instinct is to look only at Karachi-based institutions for postgraduate training. SICVD challenges that assumption in a compelling way. Here is why this opportunity deserves serious consideration:
Provincial reach with central standards. SICVD brings the same CPSP-affiliated, PMDC-recognised training to cities like Sukkur, Larkana, and Tando Muhammad Khan that were historically underserved in terms of postgraduate medical education.
Diverse patient exposure. Training across interior Sindh means exposure to a wide variety of patient demographics, disease presentations, and resource settings — clinical experience that urban-only training rarely provides.
Less competition, same credential. Positions at centres like Sukkur or Larkana typically attract fewer applicants than equivalent Karachi postings, while the training credential and CPSP affiliation remain identical.
The Neurology contractual slot. The inclusion of a Consultant Neurology position under Sindh quota at Sukkur is unusual for a cardiac institution’s advertisement and signals SICVD’s expansion into broader specialty services — making this a rare opening for neurologists as well.
