The first graduating class of AKU Medical College alumni dates back to 1988. We have recently celebrated 25 years since the graduation of AKU’s first class.
At it’s inception, the AKU Medical College was only based in Karachi, Pakistan. Today the AKU Medical College offers post graduate medical education and has expanded to a thriving campus in East Africa. We anticipate and invite all Post Graduate and Medical College alumni from East Africa and from Pakistan residing in North America to join AKUAANA.
