     CEO, the Indus Hospital.


     Professor of Cardiac Surgery, DOW University.
     MBBS, DOW Medical College.

    Born in Karachi in 1961, Prof. Dr. Abdul Bari Khan has a long history of community service and
    philanthropy geared towards social upliftment. Dr. Bari completed his medical education from The DOW
    Medical College in 1986 and received a fellowship in Cardiac Surgery from The College of Physicians &
    Surgeons Pakistan in 1995. Passionately driven towards social welfare activities even as a medical
    student, Dr. Bari became an active member of The DOW Medical Patients’ Welfare Association (PWA)
    and soon its focal person for the PWA blood bank. In 1986, after witnessing a high-intensity bomb blast
    in Saddar that resulted in many casualties, Dr. Bari came to the realization that the casualty section in
    The Civil Hospital was too small to deal with crisis emergencies and decided to revamp and expand the
    unit.
    Joining hands with the Patient’ Welfare Association to increase the unit’s capacity, Dr. Bari’s fund-raising
    efforts resulted in the establishment of a 36-bed casualty ward costing Rs.. 36 lacs, this was able to cater
    to the large number of emergency cases.
    Dr. Bari then went on to launch a fund-raising drive under the platform of “Friends of Cardiac Surgery” to
    establish a Cardiac Surgery Department costing Rs. 3.5 crore that would offer Cardiac Surgery free of cost.
    Since then, thousands of patients have benefited from free surgical treatment at The Cardiac Surgery
    Department of The Civil Hospital.
    For the people who cannot afford expenses of treatments and surgeries Dr. Bari and his medical
    counterparts and friends have also established the “Rufaydah Foundation”, a foundation represented by
    a group of philanthropists, professionals, businessmen, social workers and intellectuals who endeavour
    to provide unconditional and uncompromised medical services for the underprivileged sections of society.
    In 2007, the determination of Dr. Bari to serve the most vulnerable members of our society culminated in the
    creation of a 150 bed hospital---The Indus Hospital. The Indus Hospital has treated more than 2.3 million
    patients since its inception in 2007 and continues to expand and grow. It has now grown into a healthcare
    network with hospitals located in cities all across Pakistan.

    On 18th Nov 2009, The DOW Graduate Association of North America (DOGANA) awarded a Life Time
    Achievement Award to Dr. Abdul Bari Khan. On 23rd March 2015, Dr. Abdul Bari Khan was also awarded
    Tamgha-e-Imtiaz by the President of Pakistan for services in healthcare. Lastly, in recognition of his services
    rendered in the field of medicine, he was awarded an honorary doctorate (Ph.D.) from Hamdard University
    Pakistan at their convocation 2015.
