Dr. Muhammad Sarfraz
It is a privilege to serve as the Director Sports at Dow University of Health Sciences, an institution that values the vital role of sports and physical fitness in shaping confident, disciplined, and resilient individuals.
Sports, to me, are not merely extracurricular, they are a way of life that cultivate leadership, perseverance, and unity. With an academic background that includes advanced training from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and specialized excellence in fitness and sports performance at the University of Toronto, along with my lifelong engagement as a martial artist and sports enthusiast, I strongly believe in leading by example and building a culture where movement, strength, and teamwork are part of everyday campus life.
At DUHS, we aim to create a dynamic, inclusive, and performance-oriented sports environment where students, faculty, and staff can actively participate, compete, and grow. Our focus is not only on participation but on structured development, scientific training, injury prevention, and performance enhancement to elevate Dow sports to new heights at inter-university and National platforms.
The Directorate of Sports is committed to:
- Promoting fitness, wellness, and active lifestyles across campus
- Providing modern training opportunities and competitive exposure
- Encouraging equal participation and inclusivity in all sports
- Supporting talent identification and athlete development
- Building a strong, disciplined, and spirited sports culture at DUHS
I firmly believe that when sports become part of an institution’s identity, excellence follows naturally. My vision is to strengthen Dow’s position as a leading university in both academics and sports, where every student and staff member feels inspired to be active, confident, and proud representatives of this institution.
I invite all members of the Dow community to join this journey—on the field, in training arenas, and through wellness initiatives—as we work together to take Dow sports to the highest level.
Let us strive, compete, and grow—together.
