A Pakistani-American surgeon has been awarded the prestigious Ellis Island Medal of Honour in the United States for his services to the “less fortunate”.

The Ellis Island Medals of Honour “recognises individuals who have made it their mission to share with those less fortunate their wealth of knowledge, indomitable courage, boundless compassion, unique talents and selfless generosity; all while maintaining the traditions of their ethnic heritage as they uphold the ideals and spirit of America.” Past medallists include seven US presidents, several world leaders and two Nobel Prize winners.

Dr Adil Haider, an alumnus of Aga Khan University and Johns Hopkins University, said he was very humbled to have been bestowed the honour. “There are certainly many others who deserve this far more than me and I am just lucky to have been recognised. Only in America is this possible,” Dr Haider said in a Facebook post.

Dr Haider further said, “[This] medal reminds us that the American Dream is alive ….. it’s our job to protect it and ensure that it remains for all to come, generation after generation.”

Dr Haider is accredited with establishing the field of trauma disparities research and uncovering impact of racial disparities after traumatic injuries. He hopes to eradicate the disparities in healthcare in the US.

The other recipients of the award include five Indian Americans including PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi, author Fareed Zakaria, Harman International Industries chairman CEO Dinesh Paliwal, Dr Annapoorna S Kini, Yashvant Patel and Mohan H Patel.

The recipients will be awarded in a ceremony on Ellis Island, New York, on May 13.

Hahahhhaaa ghair ki shaadi main Abdullah deewana

What has Pakistan to do with this? How is Pakistan benefiting?

Does he send part of his salary portion here rofl?

Is he involved in any research study, collaboration in Pakistan?

Acc. to PEW study, 50% of Half of there[Americans of Pak background] daughters are married to non-muslims from hindus to jews.

There are many of these Americans of Pakistani Heritage behind atheist, qadiyani campaigns against Pakistan.



The bloggers and ppl like Jibran Nasir have been fully supported by Americans of Pakistani background, they are a nuisance value to Pakistan as a community.

Are'nt many Americans of Pakistani Heritage being used against Pakistan from espionage to attacks on Pak society?

These former Pakistanis of North American residence have contributed with the likes of ppl like Tarek FAtah, Aslam Gora, Bhashani and Shabir Choudhry, these ppl are trying to kill Pakistani national interests like Kashmir thru media and I'm not talking about the anti-islam group active there. There are many who are involved in promoting atheist campaigns

I am predicting in 2 years time Pakistan Govt. will be arm twisted by PAkistanis to finish dual nationality from Canada, US.

He is Pakistani and he is not involved in any kind of attacks on Pakistani society and is not behind some pro-Qadiani movement.
I dont know much about foreigners backing anti-Muslim movements, but there are people outside who are working for Pakistan and spreading something positive about it when some idiots living here are destroying our image.
He is a brilliant Pakistani suergon and his work is a big slap to those who think Pakistan produces terrorists.

Completely and totally false. Stop repeating this lie over and over again.

I have never even heard of any Muslim being married to someone who was Hindu. Almost all Pakistani-Americans in every state, that I know of or have met, have married Muslims.

Come and visit sometime. You can see for yourself, instead of writing falsehoods behind a computer.

Exactly. Pakistan should be aware to this "sixth" column threat. Not saying every foreign Pakistani is a threat but if I was a cunning enemy I would this avenue.

qadiyani campaigns against Pakistan.

Name one campaign that qadianis are behind if you are truthful.
