Department of neurosurgery was established at Allied Hospital, Punjab Medical College Faisalabad in 1990. Initially it was attached with Surgical Unit-I. Six beds were allocated at that time and staff consisted of one Assistant Professor with two house surgeons. The Department was latter on shifted to newer place and the posts of Associate Professor and Professor were created and now it is a full flagged neurosurgical unit with fully equipped operation theaters and all neuro-diagnostic facilities. All sorts of neurosurgical patients are treated and operations are carried out. This is the third largest unit in the Punjab. Regarding teaching and training facilities the Department is affiliated with the University of Health Sciences Punjab for M.S (Neurosurgery), and F.C.P.S Part-II training is recognized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan, Karachi.
