he realization of Dr. Ziauddin’s vision into reality began in the late 1950’s when his daughter Dr. Ejaz Fatima, and his son-in-law Dr. Tajammul Hussain, started a small maternity home in Nazimabad. Over the years, this small maternity home has grown into a busy 80-bedded hospital that serves the densely populated area of Nazimabad.
In 1968 the family of Dr. Ziauddin established Dr. Ziauddin Hospital Trust. In the same year this Trust established a second hospital in North Nazimabad, Dr. Ziauddin Hospital, which is now a 300 bedded tertiary care hospital, and caters to a large population of North Nazimabad. This hospital provides opportunities to students to gain knowledge and skills in assessing and evaluating a wide range of problems in a tertiary care setting. The Hospital is equipped with sophisticated equipment necessary to diagnose and manage problems effectively and efficiently.
In August 1994, through an Ordinance (No. XVII of 1994), the Government of Sindh granted permission for the establishment of the Dr. Ziauddin Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences. By virtue of this Ordinance, the Institute could grant its own postgraduate degrees and diplomas.
In October 1995 the Sindh Assembly passed an Act (No. VI of 1995) for the establishment of Ziauddin Medical University. At this time the University also established an association with community leaders of Sikanderabad, to set up a health centre, and entered into mutual partnership with the Karachi Municipal Corporation for training, research and services at the Sobhraj Maternity Hospital. The overall purpose is to improve the health status of the catchments population by providing services, health education and support.
In December 2006 Ziauddin Medical University was given the Charter as Ziauddin University vide 'The Ziauddin University' (Amendment) ACT 2003 dated 13th December, 2005.
Along with Medical Faculty following faculties are included:

An outstanding and versatile educationist and political figure, he was also the longest serving Vice-Chancellor in the history of Aligarh Muslim University. His close association with Sir Syed Ahmed Khan added to his stature and dignity. His untimely demise left a void in the university and in the lives of his followers and well wishers.

In 1904 Sir Ziauddin was awarded the Sir Isaac Newton Scholarship, a rare honour for a foreign graduate, and he was the first Indian to achieve this award. His thirst for knowledge took him to Gottingen University, Germany and in 1905 he completed his Ph.D. in Mathematics. In addition to this, Sir Ziauddin also visited Paris University in France, and Bologna University in Italy in the year 1905 for advanced studies in his chosen field of Mathematics.
On return from Europe, Sir Ziauddin Ahmed devoted the rest of his life to the Aligarh Muslim University. When M.A.O. College was given the status of a University in 1920, he became its first Pro Vice-Chancellor. In 1935 he was elected as the Vice-Chancellor and remained so until 1946, thus becoming the longest serving Vice-Chancellor in the history of Aligarh Muslim University to date. In 1946 he was appointed as Rector of the University and held the position until his death in 1947.
