'Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
Despite its humble beginnings, Hamdard's goals were lofty - to ease and heal the suffering of the sick with the help of herbs. Guided by the simple tenet that no one becomes poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed embodied compassion. Though he passed away early, his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only sustained the institution but also expanded it. As Hakeem Abdul Hameed grew up, he assumed all responsibilities, later inducting his younger brother into the institution.Both brothers, Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed Said, rose above all else by uplifting others. With their extraordinary drive, they elevated Hamdard from a Unani pharmaceutical company to a welfare organisation, transforming it into a waqf or trust dedicated to the nation's health and education.
Recognizing that working in traditional ways wouldn't be entirely fruitful, Hamdard adopted a broader outlook for a continued and meaningful existence. The effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place, entering the expansive world of discovery and research.
Unending dedication, incessant commitment, and prolonged experiments led to success. Hamdard's vast pharmaceutical knowledge of Unani formulations only added to its triumph.
Challenges arose with the variety of formulae given for one polyherbal medicine in various pharmacopoeias, compounded by the lack of records for processing. Undeterred, Hamdard overcame these obstacles through extensive research, collating widely recognized formulations, standardizing and indexing them - published as the Hamdard Pharmacopoeia (Qarabadin-Hamdard).Beyond recognized medicines, Hamdard has launched entirely new ones. Hamdard's R&D centres, equipped with cutting-edge enabling technologies for research, span the development of differentiated products, making Hamdard a trustworthy and highly reputed company.
