About Us
The Department of Vascular Surgery was started at Dow University Hospital under the vision of our esteemed leadership in January 2023 in a bid to truly transform Dow University Hospital in a complete tertiary care center. The vision to start the services was not only hospital need based but also to provide complex vascular procedures at a low cost to patients across the province as there is a significant lack of trained vascular surgeons across the region. Our services are driven by a dedication to patient advocacy, physician integrity, and evidence-based management.
