Somehow the moment when Dr Kheezran Ahmed got her medical degree wasn’t shown on our live feed, so she was kind enough to go back on stage and recreate it for her Parents and family to see! Super congrats to all of the proud Grads and their families #AKUConvocation @AKUGlobal

Glad to have experienced again the longstanding tradition of the "Quad Closing" by final-year MBBS students. 🎓 All my best, and Duas for you, #ClassOf2022 . I will surely miss your tough questions in the wards and your smiling faces sipping chai ☕️ in the quad!
