Congratulations to 31 fellows from the 5th batch of the Dean’s Clinical Research Fellowship (from our MBBS batch of 2023) who graduated with flying colors! Muhammad Usama, supervised by @SaleemIslam , was awarded the best fellow of the year 🥳 #DCRF
A full-circle moment! Twenty years ago, Dr Saulat Fatimi, Professor and Section Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery at AKUH, performed open-heart surgery on a 3-year-old with Tetralogy of Fallot from rural Sindh. This month, that same child has joined him as an intern in #CardiothoracicSurgery. Truly the stuff of miracles! 🩺

Our awesome research incubator CITRIC turns 4!🌟 4 years of impactful work, 9 centers pushing boundaries in diverse aspects of healthcare research from patient safety and global surgical care to bioinformatics and more. Proud of all the teams as our people are our greatest asset!
In Islamabad, Pakistan, Bill Gates received presentations from Aga Khan University research faculty Dr Zahra Hoodbhoy and Dr Muhammad Imran Nisar, highlighting impact of BMGF-supported projects in paediatrics, and maternal and child health.
Meeting privately with AKU President Dr. Shahabuddin, Bill Gates appreciated the collaboration with AKU and both explored areas to enhance partnership impact, particularly for climate change. President Shahabuddin invited Mr. Gates to visit AKU's campuses in Pakistan and East Africa.
AKU is proud of its alumni body. Dr Anita Zaidi (MBBS 1988) leads BMGF's Gender Equality Division which focuses on improving lives and livelihoods for women and children in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Congrats to the 26 fellows inducted into the DCRF this year! I hope the students work diligently and create a stellar research profile. I recounted the stories of my struggle, hoping that they take inspiration and give this one year all their strength. It will pay off well!
It's depressing to see our parents getting old while we are still struggling to be stable in life. The guilt feel is strong when we still can't afford the things our parents want or when we are unable to spend time with them since we are so busy with this thing called life.
Of all the honours I get in this job- being asked by the Final Year Class to take a pic with them… as they take their last Professional Exam @AKUGlobal is surely amongst the highest ! Thank you for the privilege and loved the Dhol ku Thap celebration after - you def earned it !
What an incredible privilege to be able to share how innovation in machines, medicines and microbiomes can get newborn babies on the right growth track. Thank you @gatesfoundation@BillGates@melindagates for this opportunity to be a #Goalkeepers2030 and @AKUGlobal for the journey
