Renowned Pakistani-born cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Hasnat Khan has returned to Pakistan after spending nearly three decades working in the United Kingdom, marking a major professional transition in his medical career.
Dr Khan, who is 68, is widely recognised internationally for his distinguished medical career in Britain as well as his past personal association with the late Princess of Wales, Diana.
The surgeon gained global attention in the 1990s due to his reported relationship with Princess Diana, which is believed to have lasted from 1995 to 1997, before her death in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Their relationship has since remained a subject of public and media interest worldwide.
Professionally, Dr Khan built a long career in the UK’s leading hospitals. He trained at King Edward Medical College before moving abroad, where he worked at several prestigious medical institutions including the Royal Brompton Hospital, London Chest Hospital, and St Bartholomew’s Hospital.
During his time in London, he was known as a highly skilled heart surgeon and was respected within the UK’s medical community for his expertise in cardiothoracic surgery.
Upon returning to Pakistan, Dr Khan has accepted an important leadership role. He is set to take charge as head of the Jinnah Institute of Cardiology, where he is expected to contribute to strengthening cardiac care services and medical training.
Officials say his appointment is aimed at improving specialised heart treatment facilities and enhancing professional standards in cardiology within the country.
Dr Khan’s return is being seen as a significant addition to Pakistan’s healthcare sector, particularly in the field of advanced cardiac surgery and institutional development.
In popular culture, his life and relationship with Princess Diana have been portrayed in various productions, including the Netflix series The Crown, where his character was played by Pakistani actor Humayun Saeed.
