Dr. Awais Zaka, MD, FACP

Dr. Awais Zaka, MD, FACP A nephrologist passionate about community health. Hello all! I am Dr. Awais Zaka. I am a nephrologist based in Lahore, Pakistan.

Though nephrology is my passion and practice, I am equally passionate about community health. I am a US-trained internist and nephrologist. In addition, I have worked as a hospitalist and a nephrologist in multiple hospitals across the US. To help elevate the level of patient care in Pakistan, I have developed the Expert Consult Clinic of Lahore. At this multispeciality complex, we practice medici

ne with passion and compassion. Since our institution is still in its infancy, I spend most of my time on its premises. When I am not in the clinic, you will find me at home spending time with the family. And whenever I can disentangle myself from the worries of the world, I take refuge in my library.
