Since its 2018 inauguration, Nasir Hospital has served over 40,000 patients and performed over 800 surgeries from cataract removal to kidney transplants.
Nasir hospital has been named in memory of His Holiness, Hadhrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad, the third Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, in recognition of his lifelong commitment to serving humanity through schools, hospitals, and clinics. The name “Nasir” means “Helper.” Humanity First aims to make Nasir Hospital the first of many Humanity First facilities in Latin America where access to healthcare is greatly needed.

Four Year Anniversary
Nasir Hospital marked its four year anniversary in late 2022. Patients and supporters gathered to celebrate four years of exemplary patient care and to look ahead to the next five years of sustainable healthcare.
Two Years Anniversary
On October 23rd, Nasir Hospital celebrated its second anniversary of providing state of the art care to the people of Guatemala. The celebration could not be at a larger scale due to the current COVID-19 conditions, but staff and employees celebrated with an outdoor BBQ. Nasir Hospital has performed more than 400 surgeries and seen more than 17,000 patients in the past two years. The two years saw many patients, who did not have any care or hope, arrive at Nasir Hospital and receive care that was unprecedented for the area.

You may well be wondering why we have built this hospital. The answer is very simple. It has been built with purely one intention, and that is, quite simply, to serve humanity, by providing high quality healthcare to the people of this nation. Also, I wish to clarify at the outset that having built this institute, this will not be the end of our services to this country; rather, it is my prayer that this proves to be the first of many humanitarian projects established by Humanity First in this region. Indeed, I hope and pray that the opening of the hospital serves as a launch pad, propelling Humanity First towards furthering their mission of providing relief, support and opportunities to people throughout the world.
