I am a rheumatologist from Pakistan. I am Associate Professor of Rheumatology at Shaikh Zayed Federal Postgraduate Medical Institute, a teaching hospital in Lahore, Pakistan.

In addition to being a member of ISN Medical Advisory Board, I am also member of the Royal College of Physicians, UK, the British Society for Rheumatology, and Fellow American College of Rheumatology.

Rheumatology is my passion and I wish to be involved in any opportunity for research and learning. Pakistan is a progressive country and people are friendly.

I am interested in scleroderma (SD), lupus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and vasculitides. I wish to do something good for such patients and anyone who wishes to share experience in the management of such patients is more than welcome to contact me.

I always ask my patients not to suffer in silence. I encourage them to seek medical help and not to assume that these diseases are not treatable.

I also treat children with rheumatological diseases.

Please feel free to e-mail me at tafazzul-h-mahmud@sclero.org with something interesting that you may wish to share.
