The Pakistan Water & Power Development Authority (Urdu: واٹر اینڈ پاور ڈویلپمنٹ اتھارٹی), colloquially known as WAPDA, is a Pakistani government-owned public utility agency maintaining hydropower and water in Pakistan, although it does not manage thermal power plants.

WAPDA was established by an act of parliament in 1958[2] to unify the maintenance of infrastructure previously overseen by provincial agencies.

Five massive hydropower projects have been announced by the President of Pakistan; these are to be completed by 2016, with a generation capacity of 9,500 MW.

Two of the projects are ready for construction, while three are in the stages of feasibility studies and preparation of tender documents.

Additionally, there are 50 bedded hospitals at Tarbela, Peshawar, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Hyderabad, Multan, Quetta & Guddu and 20 bedded hospital at Mangla and Sukkur which are fully functional and proving in-house services in all major clinical disciplines.
