In a key finding, the study reports that AKU is improving the quality of health care and education for the public at large as a pioneer and an influential role model that sparks change within other institutions. The authors call the University “a national innovator and a powerhouse for quality,” and “a nationwide role model for high-quality tertiary education and medical care.” “Too often, the significant contribution that a leading university makes to the economy is overlooked,” said AKU President and CEO Firoz Rasul. “This study should change that, with its rigorous analysis and its finding that AKU has an annual economic impact of Rs 103 billion, or US$ 1 billion. What’s more, the study demonstrates that AKU has a major impact as a leader that improves quality of life in Pakistan – whether by raising standards in health care and education, empowering women or conducting cutting-edge research.”
