FOUNDING PRESIDENT

Prof. Dr. Nabiha Hassan

Dear Members,

As I review my association with FJMC from 1948 onwards, the most gratifying experience seems to be the formation and growth of AFJOG.

During the past ten years, your association has done for its members more than what could be imagined. It has provided closer personal contact between FJ graduates through entertainment, continuing education & outreach programmes.

I am truly proud to have been one of its founder members, its president and advisor over the years.

Congratulations on completion of a glorious decade of AFJOG.

Best wishes,
Prof. Dr. Nabiha Hassan

CURRENT PRESIDENT

Prof Nighat Mir Ahmad, MD

Welcome to AFJOG. It is a privilege and an honor to serve as President of this great Institution and to build on the work of our founders and past Presidents.

My vision is to bring the FJ family together to make quality, compassionate primary care available closer to home for communities across Pakistan. In partnership with Fatima Jinnah Medical University (FJMU), we aim to train more family physicians, help patients and families make informed health decisions, expand home-based care for older people, and support research that responds to local health needs.

AFJOG provides community-based training for students from FJMU and other medical colleges. Our long-term goal is to establish an Institute of Primary Care offering postgraduate training in family medicine at all levels. I am grateful to our alumni in Pakistan and abroad for their continued support in teaching, training and quality care for patients.

I invite our alumni, students and friends to be part of this work by mentoring a young doctor, volunteering their time or supporting a community programme. To our fellow graduates, I extend a warm invitation to join AFJOG and give back to your alma mater.

Prof. Nighat Mir Ahmad, MD
President, AFJOG
