This policy is now producing good results. The university is based upon the development of community medicine with nineteen (19) allied primary health care centres located within 40-Km from the university. Families are assigned to medical students from the first year to follow their health care and social circumstances to achieve a broader view of the place of health care in the life of a community. Projects are also assigned to students during the clinical years. BMU and its Constituent Institutes Baqai Medical University was conceived by Professor and Mrs. Dr. Fareeduddin Baqai as a way of providing health facilities to the underprivileged rural population. The first batch of students was admitted in the Medical College in 1988 and the Baqai Dental College was initiated in soon after. Major expansion has resulted in the present situation, where 25 institutes are attached to the university including the most successful “Assisted Reproductive Technique” Clinic in Pakistan. The Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences has also been declared “A Centre of Excellence”. In the subsequent year, the Baqai Institute of Diabetology & Endocrinology (BIDE) was also declared “A Centre of Excellence” by the World Diabetes Federation (WDF). Further additions are the MBA program in health sciences, Information Technology Institute, Physical Therapy Institute, which are also the critical need of the country. Another landmark was the establishment of Veterinary Science College which is the first ever in Karachi. This extraordinary broad approach is due to the vision contained in the Baqai Model of which the medical university is an important and integral part. BAQAI MODEL The BAQAI Model is conceptually and practically at least 20 years in advance of any similar institution in the world with application to many developing countries as well as having lessons for developed countries. The basic model deals with a population of about a million people. Apart from replication and establishment of a unit at Gharo in the Thatta district of Sindh, negotiations have taken place with Governments of Maldives, Srilanka, Bangladesh, Sharjah, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Canada and USA about many aspects of the Baqai Model. The Baqai Model with its broad objectives of health education and (self-help) social upliftment is successful because of its unique features: This includes education and (self-help) social upliftment by means of small home industries as healthcare cannot be separated from education and social conditions. Consequently, the students attain a broad view of the social implications of health, not simply the technical aspects of medicine. This has become an important priority worldwide, particularly in Pakistan, as our health care workers have to be better than their counterparts in the developing world because of limited facilities and a high disease load. 4 There is an inner urge in certain human beings to play their part in the developmental activities of the place or city around them. Having made a choice of medical to be their profession and graduating in this field, visionary and sensitive individuals, Prof. Dr. F.U. Baqai and Prof. Dr. Zahida Baqai, filled with the passion for human welfare and social service started off with a modest beginning by setting up a hospital complex in private sector at Nazimabad in late 60s. Soon this hospital complex developed into a 350-bedded general hospital with all modern sophisticated treatment facilities for the middle-income groups. A part of the job was done on charity basis. This proved to be a successful venture and Baqai Hospital Nazimabad became a centre of excellence. This success gave an impetus to the Baqais to pursue their future ventures in this vital field of education and health. A teaming majority, almost 70% of the population constitutes rural population of Pakistan. The medical needs of this populace was never seriously tackled by the health planners of the country as most of the Government sector health delivery system were located in the urban areas. With this end in view, the Baqais felt the need to provide health services to the rural area of Karachi. In 1976, they founded the Baqai Medical Complex on the Super Highway and established a Rural Health Centre, which served the needs of the area. The gashing flow of creativity and new ideas then began to take further concrete shape in the form of an organization. From this stage onwards, it was only a matter of time and intensity of commitments. In early 80's the basic construction of the building of Medical College was started. After the completion of the infrastructure, designing of curriculum to conform to the community-oriented medical education and recruitment of highly qualified and most experienced personnel available in the profession, affiliation with the University of Karachi was obtained and the Baqai Medical College was started in 1988 with admission of 50 students for the first batch. 5 Baqai Medical University VISION & MISSION 6 VISION Our vision is a University Town at Gadap, having been developed around Baqai Medical University like Oxford & Cambridge Universities in England, on the pattern of Utah State University and the Aligarh Muslim University of Indo-Pak subcontinent. This town of Education and Learning will have a good number of Colleges of ARTS and SCIENCES besides Universities. This mega project is being developed on the basis of Self Reliance. The government is supportive of these projects and efforts have been made to bolster academic and research projects in the best possible manner. The Community having comprehensive Health Care to 100% population based on BAQAI’S Model of Health Care Delivery, Health and Medical Education inclusive of Preventive Health. A child of the town to be able to say “I have a doctor of my own too”. The women’s status raised economically, educationally, health-wise and Socially through Social Obstetrics. All this being achieved by the Community through community participation at all levels, with complete autonomy at local level having no central bureaucratic control. Further development in this field has come with the realization that the U.N. Millennium Development Goals are the object of the modern medical professionals. This includes not only technical training in medicine but also education of the general public and above all prevention of disease which is duly more cost effective and beneficial to the whole population rather than management of terminal diseases in individuals such as renal and heart transplantation.

    In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Address by DR HUSSEIN A. GEZAIRY REGIONAL DIRECTOR WHO EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION to the SPECIAL CONVOCATION, BAQAI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, AND THIRD CONVOCATION OF BAQAI MEDICAL AND DENTAL COLLEGES FOR THE AWARD OF DEGREES BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI Karachi, Pakistan, 23 February 2001 Your Excellency the President of Pakistan, Your Excellency the Governor of Sindh, Your Excellency the Vice-Chancellor of Baqai Medical University, Dear colleagues, members of the faculty staff, Students and parents, Ladies and gentlemen Assalamu Alaykom wa Rahmatollahy wa Barakatoh It is a great pleasure to be included among this august gathering, headed by His Excellency the President of Pakistan, and to share with you 2 this joyful occasion. I am deeply grateful to have been chosen for the honour of receiving the degree of Doctorate in Sciences from your esteemed university. Since its first batch of students enrolled in 1988, Baqai Medical College, later Baqai Medical University, has been highly regarded by WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean. The innovative community-oriented programme adopted by the college was one of the earliest initiatives towards the reform of medical education in Pakistan. The push for reform in medical colleges all over the world has stemmed from growing awareness of the drawbacks and shortcomings of the existing system of medical education. Curriculum change is necessary when there is a lack of relevant medical response to community needs. Effective and relevant training methods are needed, and must be selected and implemented in accordance with current evidence-based education. Such learning strategies need to address competency in work as well as lifelong learning in order to deal with the fast-moving developments in medical professions.

    Complications of Obesity in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Insulin Resistance and Inflammation ORIGINAL ARTICLE Complications of Obesity in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Insulin Resistance and Inflammation Sadaf Saleem Uppal1, Abdul Khaliq Naveed2, Asifa Majeed3, Mazhar Shafiq4, Kiran Namoos1, Saeeda Baig5 1Department of Biochemistry, Shalamar Medical and Dental College, Lahore, 2Department of Biochemistry, CMH Lahore Medical College, 3Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, 4Department of Radiology, CMH Kohat, 5Department of Biochemistry, Ziauddin University, Karachi, Pakistan. ABSTRACT Background: The polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a well-known endocrine-metabolic disease, is caused by the interaction of environmental, genetic and metabolic factors. A cross-sectional, comparative study was planned to evaluate high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), insulin and lipid profile in non-obese and obese PCOS patients. Methods: Seventy-two women diagnosed with PCOS as per Rotterdam criteria, were placed in three groups in accordance with the body mass index: Group 1 (normal weight), Group 11 (overweight), and Group 111 (obese). Blood glucose, hs-CRP, serum insulin, lipid profile was estimated and insulin resistance was calculated. Data was analyzed using version 20 of SPSS. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the numeric variables among three groups of PCOS women and p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Significantly, higher levels of insulin (13.03 ± 0.22), triglyceride (1.74 ± 0.96) and hs-CRP (7.24±4.11) were detected in obese PCOS women. The levels of fasting blood glucose (4.61±0.54) were also raised. Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) (2.69±0.79) showed insulin resistance in obese PCOS women (p=0.004).
