LAHORE:<\/strong> Prof Dr Nadia Naseem<\/a> has assumed the additional charge of Vice Chancellor of the University of Health Sciences<\/a> (UHS) Lahore, marking a significant leadership transition at one of Pakistan’s leading public-sector medical universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment comes under a notification issued by the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education (SHC&ME) Department, Government of Punjab, following the completion of the four-year tenure of Prof Dr Ahsan Waheed Rathore as Vice Chancellor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof Nadia officially assumed her new responsibilities, bringing with her decades of experience in medical education, academic leadership, university administration and biomedical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She currently serves as Professor and Head of the Department of Morbid Anatomy and Histopathology at UHS and has recently completed a three-year term as Pro-Vice Chancellor, where she played an active role in strengthening the university’s academic and administrative functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her appointment places an experienced internal leader at the helm of the institution during an important phase for medical education in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extensive administrative experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of her career at UHS, Prof Nadia has held several key leadership positions that have provided her with comprehensive experience in university governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has previously served as Controller of Examinations and Registrar, overseeing academic administration, examination systems and institutional operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition follows the completion of the four-year tenure of Prof Dr Ahsan Waheed Rathore, under whose leadership the University of Health Sciences<\/a> continued its role in medical education, research and examination management across affiliated institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the province’s premier health sciences university, UHS plays a central role in undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dental education, curriculum development, professional examinations and health sciences research in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
