Message from the,
Chancellor,
Dr. Arif-ur-Rehman Alvi
(President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan)
Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University.

Being an emerging Medical University, our hallmarks include striving

to achieve international standards of excellence; problem-oriented research
that improves quality of life for the public at large; embracing pluralism;
and dedication to ensuring that our academic programmes and healthcare
services are accessible to the disadvantaged.

Addressing complex social problems requires action in multiple arenas, collaboration by experts
in different fields, and the ability to work with varying multidisciplinary experience. SZABMU strives for
provision of education in order to prepare ethical leadership, thoughtful citizenship, service to the society,
and success in the global knowledge economy.

As we go through a difficult time fighting against the COVID-19 Virus and the major disruption it
has created in our lives, I would like to thank our students, faculty and staff of SZABMU along with all the
healthcare professionals for their dedication, sacrifice and facing a myriad of challenges with courage and
resilience.

At SZABMU, we must strive to face these challenges as a team, including students, faculty and staff
members, so as to rise to their best potentials, identify their strengths and acquire much needed lifelong
learning skills for academic and social pursuits.

As a future vision, we must pursue groundbreaking research on deadly diseases, educating the
next generation of leaders here at their Alma Mater and at renowned universities around the world, using
technology that deliver solutions to help the society and heading relief efforts in areas racked by conflict
and catastrophes. In addition, working to ensure that every human receives the needed vaccinations and
that those are very timely.

I wish SZABMU a bright future in the coming years.
