Tips on team management by the indomitable Nadeem Mustufa Khan aka #NMK , former CEO at AKUH for more than a decade #DeansLeadershipCourse

Team management is a crucial part of an organization’s efficiency. In teams, we have usual observations:

A heart-to-heart with students running Falah AKU, #AKUSONAM ’s student-led NGO for welfare. So proud of all the work our students put into a great year for Falah that now ends. Shared ideas & insights for the year to come. Always refreshing to speak & mingle with our youth!

Great discussion on mental health during NCD symposium Addressing psychosocial determinants, improving health care structures, integrating mental health care within primary care, improving awareness and education and providing proper care are important to address. Zainab Samad

Dr Aysha Almas MBBS,MSc, PhD and Dr Sameen Siddiqi pointing out that the AKUPI NCD program is building the next generation of leaders in NCDs

Afaf Meleis “Research & science give us the voice to really make an impact through policy change,” said Dr Afaf Meleis encouraging our students to take up evidence-based research & higher education degrees like Masters & PhD in Nursing.

With everyone’s favorite Dr Afaf Meleis in town, at #AKUSONAM , we’re over the moon! 💫 Dr Meleis visited the campus recently meeting our students, staff, faculty & nurses. It was an honour to have her among us and as always she left us inspired & moved with her words of wisdom.

With great Sadness we Aga Khan University share the news of the Passing of our legendary Founding Chair of Family Medicine - Professor Riaz Qureshi. We are all so 💔 but know his legacy lives on through his wonderful family and three generations of Family Medicine providers he trained ..

'I flew to my daughter’s graduation in between my chemo cycles (the two weeks break). She said that she wouldn’t attend the graduation unless I was there. I think that is what truly mattered...And that is the crux of me fighting my disease,' says Dr Tabish

Wonderful insightful morning spent with Dr. Ishrat Husain at Aga Khan University
Happy to declare the inaugural #PublicHealthGrandRound a soaring success 👏
