Director, Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

I am delighted to announce that Dow University of Health Sciences has introduced the world’s most advanced radiosurgery system, the Gamma Knife Icon, dedicated to treating brain cancer and various brain disorders. This installation marks a historic moment as the first Gamma Knife to be integrated into a public hospital in Pakistan, reinforcing our commitment to providing top-notch healthcare at an affordable cost.

The Gamma Knife Icon is renowned for its pinpoint accuracy and remarkable outcomes, often achieved in a single session. Our experienced team of neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, physicists, and radiation therapists is fully equipped to manage and operate this advanced facility. I am confident that their expertise will lead to continued success in providing high-quality care to the community.

Our History

Dr. A. Q. Khan – Institute of Behavioral Sciences (IBS) in Karachi has been providing psychiatric consultation and rehabilitation for over a decade. It was established in 1995 on a donated six-acre plot of land. Initial infrastructure was inaugurated in 1997, with notable donations from figures like Dr. A. Q. Khan and Ardeshir Cowasjee. Governance underwent changes over time, until 2017, resulting in IBS becoming part of Dow University of Health Sciences. Under Brig. Dr. Shoaib Ahmed’s leadership, the institute aims to excel as the best Mental Health service provider in Pakistan. Learn more about our history here.
