Introduction & History
‘Hamdard’ is a compound word derived from Persian. It combines the words ‘ham’ (used in the sense of ‘companion’) and ‘dard’ (meaning ‘pain’). ‘Hamdard’ thus means ‘a companion in pain’ and ‘sympathizer in suffering’. In 1906, in undivided India’s capital, Delhi, a devoted, determined, yet unworldly man, Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed, laid the foundation of Hamdard Dawakhana. This began as an herb shop and soon gained the reputation of the finest supplier of herbs.
Even in these humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; Easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. Perhaps the strain of long hours and hard work cut off Hakeem Abdul Majeed’s life in its prime. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed assumed all responsibilities. After helping in his younger brother’s upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Now both brothers, with their extraordinary drive, raised Hamdard from the status of a Unani pharmaceutical company to that of a welfare organization as well. They transformed it into a waqf or trust dedicated to the nation’s health and education.
