The Man, The Legend

About the Founder

There are men. There are extraordinary men. And then there are legends.

Dr Ahmad Abdul Hai is one such man. A doctor, an entrepreneur, an educationist, a philanthropist ‐ but above all, a legend. And there's good reason for it. One needs to read through the inspiring story of his life, the compelling anecdotes that comprise his best and worst moments, and the engrossing trivia that have collectively made and moved him, to understand just how ‐ and why ‐ the surgeon cum philanthropist is an icon for the masses and what makes him a "person extraordinaire".

Dr Ahmad Abdul Hai retired as professor and head of department of surgery at Patna Medical College and Hospital, after nearly 35 years. During this period from 1977 to 2000, he guided more than 50 surgeons for their postgraduate degree.

Parents Par Excellence

  • Father of Dr Ahmad Abdul Hai

    Padma Bhushan Dr Mohammad Abdul Hai left an enduring legacy for his children, and his sons have followed in their father's footsteps to create legacies of their own which are equally noteworthy and commendable.

  • Mother of Dr Ahmad Abdul Hai

    Begum Alay Fatima Hai was exceptional in her own ways. Bringing up her four children, she was unmatched in her dedication towards parenthood.

Simple Living, High Thinking Hai Family

The four Hai siblings were born between 1942 and 1949. The Indian subcontinent was going through political turmoil trying to gain independence from British rule and the ensuing partition leading to India and Pakistan.

Life was good growing up as a child in an elite Muslim family in Patna, which was still a small town with a well-protected residential area of lavish homes and gardens. Gandhi Maidan was a true heaven where the siblings took walks in the evening with their nanny or 'Aya' and played for hours on the green grass. There was hardly any traffic or congestion.




The Next Generation



Dr Ahmad Abdul Hai and his wife have a son and two daughters. All three are medical professionals as are his two sons-in-law. The son, Dr Mahmed Abdul Hai, is a laparoscopic surgeon in Patna itself. He is married to Amina and they have two children. The elder daughter, Kazeen, is settled in New York and has three children, while the younger daughter, Zareen, is in England and has one child.
