The Department of Anaesthesiology is excited to bring you the Annual Anaesthesiology Conference 2026, under the theme:

It is with great sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved alumna, Dr. Sobia Laique. We join her family, friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives she touched in mourning this immense loss.

An alumna of the Aga Khan University Medical College, Class of 2013, Dr. Sobia went on to build an exceptional career as a transplant hepatologist at Cleveland Clinic. Her dedication to her patients, her profession, and the pursuit of excellence will remain an enduring part of her legacy.

As we remember Dr. Sobia with gratitude and admiration, we extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones. May Allah (SWT) envelop her in His infinite mercy and bless her family with sabr and strength during this difficult time.

Please remember Dr. Sobia and her family in your prayers.
