He is a faculty member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England for the Care of the Critically Ill Surgical Patient (CCrlSP) course. Although Farhan has only recently officially joined the Midland Doctors® committee, he has had a strong affiliation with the charity from the very beginning. Midland Doctors® are particularly honoured for Farhan to join the executive committee as he was one of the original members of the team who helped the earthquake victims in Balakot in 2005. With respect to the history of the organization, it was this event which led to the inception of the idea to build a charity hospital within the earthquake region. Subsequently, this led to the involvement of the group in multiple humanitarian crises. As Farhan hails from Muzaffarabad, the work of the charity is extremely close to his heart. It is great to have him on the team for his strong work ethic, passion for medical education, and, most notably because he is one person you can always count on to have a smile on his face. Farhan is now keen to enhance the Educational/ Surgical Training capabilities at Midland Doctors Medical Institute, Muzaffarabad. He became the Director of Education of Midland Doctors® during the Covid-19 pandemic, delivering ground-breaking provision of education to Pakistani staff through a virtual platform.
