| Awards for Excellence Sohail A Khan
Sohail A Khan is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon at Hope University Teaching Hospital in Manchester. Currently he runs the Limb Reconstruction Unit at Hope hospital, one of only ten in the UK. Following the Pakistan earthquakes in 2005, Mr Khan founded MiST (Mobile International Surgical Teams), which is an organisation that helps the injured after natural and manmade disasters. He took a team out to Pakistan and organised other teams to follow in rotation, so that there was continuity of care for the victims of the quake. With this idea, Khan set up a long term Surgical Limb Reconstruction Unit in Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad, NWFP, Pakistan. Since then, MiST has extended its reach to other emergency areas, most recently in Gaza. Khan has taken unpaid leave from March 2010 to go and work in Gaza as a visiting Professor and help set up an Orthopaedic and Trauma service for the Gaza strip. |
