INTRODUCTION OF DEPARTMENT
The Department of Anatomy being an integral and basic unit of the University is as old as King Edward Medical College, Lahore itself, being established in 1860. After the construction of Farid Kot Block, in 1882, Anatomy Department was immediately shifted therein.

Tahir, Prof. T.S. Abidi, Prof. Naseem Feroze, Prof. Atiya Khalid & Prof. Dr. Raafea Tafweez are some of the incumbents to the chair of Anatomy. At present, the department is headed by Prof. Dr. Farhana Sajjad. Prof. T.S. Abidi was a pioneer in starting a Postgraduate Degree of M.Phil in 1980. On acquiring the status of University in December 2006, the Anatomy department remained actively involved in imparting knowledge to the M.D/M.S, M.Phil & Ph.D. students of various disciplines. Ph.D. program was launched in 2010. The anatomy department of KEMU was the first to start FCPS Anatomy Program in Lahore in 2014.
