NEW YORK – A daughter of Pakistan’s late air chief Nur Khan lost her life in a tragic road mishap in Virginia state of the United States.
Dr Faiqa Aftab Qureshi, a well-known Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, was travelling in her when she met an accident in Dinwiddie County. Reports said the car caught fire soon after the collision with the doctor losing her life on the spot.
She joined the Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters as a physician in 1993 and later she served as medical director of the emergency department for a long period.
Meanwhile, with hearts in deep grief and sorrow, King Edward Medical University, Lahore, mourned the tragic passing of its cherished alumna, Professor Dr. Faiqa Nur Khan, Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, who lost her life in a car accident in the United States of America.
“Dr. Faiqa Nur Khan, daughter of the late Air Marshal Nur Khan, was among the brightest stars of the KEMCOL Class of 1972 (graduated 1973). She was not only an outstanding student but a physician of rare dedication, brilliance, and compassion. Her life’s work reflected excellence in every sense, and she brought great honour to her alma mater and to Pakistan. She holds the historic distinction of being the first Pakistani author of the ACLS Pediatrics book, a landmark contribution to medical education and emergency care worldwide,” KEMU said.
A true KEMCOLIAN at heart, she remained deeply connected to King Edward throughout her life. As a Lifetime Member of KEMCAANA, a Member of its Board of Trustees, and an active contributor to the Scholarship Committee, she served selflessly and generously.
