After graduation, he started a successful clinic in an underprivileged area of Karachi with the help of his wife, Dr. Gauhar.
In June of 1994, Dr. Rizvi was the victim of a violent sectarian attack while working with his patients in his clinic. He was shot four times, damaging both arms, thigh, lungs and spinal cord, paralyzing him. On hearing news of the attack, the community was galvanized over the love of their Doctor and over 2000 people gathered outside the emergency wing of JPMC, willing to donate blood and praying for the recovery of their beloved Doctor. Dr. Rizvi had required 20 blood bags, and upwards of 100 were donated immediately. When the hospital reached capacity, the group relocated to Hussaini Blood Bank, where an additional 40 to 45 bags of blood were donated.
The father of young children, Dr. Rizvi continued to serve his community in a second clinic in Model Colony, Karachi tirelessly until January of 2002 when he was the victim of a second assassination attempt. Dr. Rizvi and his young family remained ever-patriotic and optimistic, and Dr. Rizvi continued to treat patients and serve his community.
Earlier this year, IMI produced a video about his story. Click below to view his story in his own words and witness his service to humanity.

Mohammad A. Haider
Mohammed lived a short but inspirational life and one that we can all learn from. At only 5 years old, Mo was diagnosed with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, a degenerative neuromuscular disease with no cure. He did not let his physical limitations define him or prevent him from achieving his goals. Mo graduated at the top of his class in high school, earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and his Master’s degree from Villanova knowledge. Mohammed loved to travel and was fortunate enough to have been able to travel the world. During his adult years, it was of utmost of importance to Mohammad to live as normal and independent of a life as possible. Mohammed’s dedicated parents worked diligently day in and day out to ensure his life was the best it could be for him. For the last few years, Mohammad had been living independently in his own apartment in Philadelphia pursuing his own independent research projects.
Though it pains us to know he is gone, we hope that others can look at the struggle Mohammed faced in his life and use it as an inspiration to appreciate each day and motivation to pursue their dreams.
