Meet Dr. Umer
Medical Officer, DHQ Hospital Bahawalnagar — and the doctor who writes and medically reviews every article on this website.
I am Dr. Muhammad Umer Farooq, an MBBS doctor working as a Medical Officer at DHQ Hospital Bahawalnagar, Pakistan. I did my MBBS from HBS Medical & Dental College, and my degree is from Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University (SZABMU), Islamabad.
Before joining DHQ Hospital Bahawalnagar, I trained under Dr. Malik Iftikhar Ahmed in Haroonabad — my uncle and my ustad — and under Dr. Yasir Dastgir, a Senior GP with a Diploma in Cardiology who runs Hayat Clinic in Lahore. I hold experience certificates from both of them.
I started Ask Dr. Umer because patients in Pakistan — and everywhere — deserve health information they can actually understand and trust. Every article on this website is written and medically reviewed by me, in plain language, in both English and اردو. We also offer free health tools so you can check, track, and understand your health without paying a rupee.
No article goes live on Ask Dr. Umer without my review. If a medical claim cannot be verified from a reliable source, it is flagged or removed — not published. That standard is non-negotiable.
