Dow Institute of Nursing and Midwifery, a part of Dow University of Health Sciences, was established in 2006 with the vital contribution of a task force. The main goal is to produce high-quality healthcare professionals through various nursing programs. The task force, led by the Vice-Chancellor and comprising nursing professionals and experienced teachers from both public and private sectors, played a crucial role in planning and establishing the institute. Situated within the Ojha campus of DUHS, the institute boasts a well-constructed building and a conducive learning environment.

DUHS, founded in December 2003, established the Dow Institute of Nursing and Midwifery with the support of the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan (HEC). The foundation stone laying ceremony took place on June 3rd, 2006, with Prof. Atta Ur Rehman, Advisor Federal Government, and Chairman Higher Education Commission as the Chief Guest. The project was completed within two years, with the primary aim of addressing the shortage of skilled nurses in the country by providing quality education and practical nursing training.
