Dr. Muhammad Mujeeb Khan, Assistant Professor and Head of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, has been recognised for his outstanding contributions to public health. He was presented with a Shield of Appreciation by Deputy Commissioner Rawalpindi, Captain (Retd) Nadeem Nasir, in a ceremony held on September 1, 2026.
Dr. Mujeeb is renowned for his dedicated services and exceptional clinical work during the 2025 dengue outbreak. He successfully managed the treatment of 2,500 admitted dengue patients, achieving a remarkable zero percent mortality rate through rigorous patient management protocols.

These structured sessions equipped family physicians with crucial skills to implement immediate medical interventions and ensure timely patient referrals.
The Deputy Commissioner, Captain (Retd) Nadeem Nasir, praised Dr. Mujeeb for his dual contributions: providing life-saving clinical care and fortifying the district’s healthcare network against infectious diseases. Senior physicians, fellow doctors, the CEO of the District Health Authority, and Holy Family Hospital management all congratulated him on this well-deserved recognition.
