More than 730 students in four countries graduated from the Aga Khan University (AKU) at ceremonies attended by Princess Zahra Aga Khan and other dignitaries, and watched in-person and online by people around the world. A total of 391 students graduated in Pakistan — more than 70 per cent of them women — and were awarded degrees in nursing, medicine and education. The School of Nursing and Midwifery conferred the Outstanding Graduate Award on Zehra Amanullah for earning the highest cumulative grade point average. She also received the Nursing Practice Award. For just the 13th time in its history, the AKU Medical College awarded its gold medal to a graduate of the MBBS programme. Alizah Pervaiz Hashmi received the medal for earning the top score on at least three of the four certifying examinations, including the final examination.
