The DOGANA conferred this award to Surgeon Bari, to appreciate his devotion to humanity beyond the call of his professional duties. He has set an example which is being followed by others in promotion of health and welfare of down trodden.
Overwhelmed by the appreciation Dr Bari in his acceptance speech thanked DOGANA for recognizing his humble contributions to the health problems in Karachi, Pakistan. He said DOGANA has demonstrated that the issues back home are never out of mind and as always is a matter of concern for DOGANA and the Pakistani Diaspora in North America at large.
Dr Bari said that this award also recognizes the generosity of many in Pakistan who care and support the poor and deserving patients in our public and private sector hospitals. Their love for humanity as servants of Allah SWT is most inspiring. It’s only with their support that he could complete my many projects either as a medical student or as a young doctor and today as a Cardiac Surgeon at Dow Medical College and as a Chief Executive of The Indus Hospital.
Dr. Abdul Bari is entrusted by the Rufaydah Foundation® as its chief executive for establishing the Indus Hospital located in the populous district of Korangi Karachi. This is a 150 bedded (Phase I) free of cost tertiary care centre dedicated to provide specialized surgical and medical interventions. The highly rated Indus Hospital is a challenging prospect and a tall order for him to achieve and deliver. Dr. Abdul Bari is determined to succeed and deems it as a divine obligation to fulfill.
The relationship of Dr. Abdul Bari Khan and Dow circumscribes the years. Dr. Bari completed his Graduation from Dow Medical College in the year 1986. Completed his fellowship FCPS in Cardiac Surgery in 1995 and commissioned as Assistant Professor Cardiac Surgery in the year 1999.
Dr. Abdul Bari Khan has a long history of community services and motivator for social work. Beyond Indus Hospital, he is the familiar face in all development projects of Civil Hospital Karachi. He was active member of the Alumni projects of Dowites '76, '77, '78 & '79. While training as a Cardiac Surgeon at National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), he facilitated the expansion of the operating facilities of the institute through philanthropic support.
After passing his fellowship in Cardiac Surgery he joined his alma-mater as a Cardiac Surgeon without a Cardiac Surgery Department. Not surprisingly in a period of 2 years he raised Rs.30.5 million from different donors and philanthropists and established the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Dow Medical College & Civil Hospital Karachi that now provides free of cost cardiac surgery for the poor non-affording patients.
