01The Life
A surgeon, a teacher, a quiet institution-builder.
A general and laparoscopic surgeon by training and a reformer of postgraduate medical education by vocation. Prof. Gondal calls himself, with characteristic plainness, a Pakistani — a local product — and has spent his career insisting that Pakistani training can be equal to any in the world.
Born in Lahore in 1962 to a family of modest means, Prof. Dr. Khalid Masood Gondal entered King Edward Medical College in 1981 — a place he would never quite leave. Forty years on, he has chaired its Surgery department, served as its Vice Chancellor, and now leads Fatima Jinnah Medical University while presiding over the College of Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan for an unprecedented second term.
I am a Pakistani — a local product. Whatever I have learned, I have learned here, and whatever I owe, I owe here.
