Message from the Vice Chancellor

At the University of Health Sciences (UHS), Lahore, we recognize that research is the cornerstone of academic excellence and national progress. The Research & Development (R&D) Department has been envisioned as the central hub for fostering inquiry, innovation, and evidence-based solutions in health sciences.

Our mission is not only to strengthen the culture of research within UHS and its affiliated institutions but also to ensure that this research translates into meaningful outcomes—improving healthcare delivery, shaping policy, and addressing the pressing health challenges of our society.

UHS is committed to aligning its research priorities with both national health needs and international standards. By fostering interdisciplinary collaborations across medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health sciences, we aim to generate impactful knowledge that bridges the gap between laboratory, classroom, and community.

The R&D Department plays a pivotal role in:

• Upholding ethical and governance standards.
• Building research capacity through training and mentorship.
• Facilitating access to national and international grants.
• Promoting innovation and technology transfer.
• Supporting high-quality publications and dissemination.

I invite our faculty, students, and partners to actively engage with the R&D initiatives at UHS. Together, we can strengthen our contribution to global knowledge, empower future generations of researchers, and transform healthcare for the betterment of humanity.
