Professor Adeeb Ul Hasan Rizvi graduated from DMC in 1960. He is the founder of Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi.
SIUT (Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation) started as an eight-bed ward in the Civil Hospital, Karachi. In the years following its inception, it has progressed from a small ward to a status of an institute by an Act of the Provincial Assembly and is one of the leading nephro-urlogical and transplant centres in the world. It was then established as a charitable trust in 2005 to benefit the public and to be a source for health facilities, medical education and financial assistance to the needy patients.
At present, SIUT is located within the Civil Hospital, Karachi. SIUT’s new premises, the Dewan Farooq Medical Complex, are situated one block away. This 300-bed Complex has been built on a plot of 1.5 acres granted by the Sindh Government. It is one of the largest centres for renal diseases and transplantation in the region, covering an area of 315, 000 sq. feet. The construction of the Complex was made possible by a generous donation from the Dewan Mushtaq family, a local philanthropic business family.
Syed Adibul Hasan Rizvi was born on September 11, 1938, to a close-knit, middle-class, landowning Muslim family in Kalanpur, a small village near the city of Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh, India. He was the youngest of nine children-six boys and three girls.
