Inspiration
In 2013, while working as a Leading Consultant Surgeon at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital in Jeddah, Saudia Arabia, Dr. Tanvir was intrigued by a revolutionary procedure called Bariatric and Metabolic Operation. An operation that has the capacity to potentially cure diabetes and obesity. Seeing the significant impact the surgery has on the overall patient’s quality of life, Dr. Tanvir decided to dedicate his practice to the treatment and prevention of obesity as a full-time Bariatric Surgeon. On realizing the scarcity of this life-changing treatment in the healthcare system of Pakistan, he decided to pursue it and bring it home to Karachi.
