Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary

Preface

This article, contributed by Abdulrazak Fazal, offers a compelling narrative of the Khoja Nasser Noormohamed Dispensary—an enduring symbol of the Khoja community’s charitable legacy in Zanzibar. Originally established in memory of Nasser Noormohamed’s son, the dispensary served as a vital healthcare centre for both Khoja Ithna’ashri and Ismaili communities. Through the author’s personal recollections and historical insight, the article highlights not only the building’s architectural and cultural significance but also the lives it touched across generations.
