Dr. Hafeez Rahman began his career focusing on Laparoscopic surgery in 1992. Today, he is one of the pioneers in the world for this medical procedure.

As the Chairman of Sunrise Group of Hospitals, I have dedicated my career to laparoscopic surgery and advancing gynaecological care. 120,000 laparoscopic surgeries performed, including 35,000 total laparoscopic hysterectomies. Most of the techniques he has developed over the years are followed all over the world including countries like USA. He was the youngest secretary of FOGSI, the largest med

ical society in INDIA, as well as the youngest chairman of FOGSI. He was also the Hon. Secretary of Indian faculty of Endoscopy and the founder Vice President of IMAGE which is Gynaec./Endoscopy society. Since completing his post graduation with a gold medal, at BJMC (Gujarat University), Dr. Hafeez has done pioneering work to spread the benefits of Laparoscopy in all Asian countries. He has taught and provided his expertise in several countries like Malaysia, UAE, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Bangladesh to name a few. For over 16 years, Dr. Hafeez Rahman has been teaching Gynecologists of all ages and competency levels from all over the world in the art of Laparoscopy. As of today, over 1000 Gynecologists have benefited from his wealth of knowledge and expertise in this field.

Dr. Hafeez is the first Indian surgeon to be invited as a training faculty to the Ministry hospitals in the UAE, as well as being a consultant at INTERNATIONAL MODERN HOSPITAL in MANKOOL, DUBAI.

In fact, Dr. Hafeez Rahman is among the handful surgeons in the world who does cancer surgery laparoscopically. Dr. Hafeez is the pride of sunrise hospital and a born surgeon, being a talented artist and ambidextrous, which gives him the added advantage to operate with both hands equally.

or 35 years, Dr. Hafeez Rahman has embodied the highest standards of surgical excellence, unwavering precision, and compassionate care. While decades of experience, thousands of successful surgeries, patients from across the world, and generations of surgeons trained speak to an extraordinary career, they tell only part of the story.

His true legacy is found in the moments that matter most—the reassuring conversation before surgery, the confidence he gives anxious families, the meticulous precision of every decision in the operating theatre, and the joy of seeing patients return to life with renewed hope.

For Dr. Hafeez Rahman, excellence has never been a milestone to achieve. It is a promise renewed with every patient, every procedure, every single day. Even after 35 remarkable years, he continues to step into the operating theatre with the same humility, discipline, and commitment that defined the beginning of his journey.

Some careers are built on ambition. Some legacies are built on purpose.

Here's to 35 years of transforming lives, inspiring trust, and choosing excellence—every day.

Every remarkable legacy begins with a simple dream. Long before pioneering surgical innovations and transforming thousands of lives, there was a young boy with a vision to make surgery safer, kinder, and more accessible.

Through years of relentless learning, discipline, and perseverance, Dr. Hafeez Rahman pursued excellence with one purpose: to improve patient care. Inspired by the challenges faced by women undergoing major surgeries, he embraced minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques at a time when they were still evolving, believing patients deserved less pain, faster recovery, and better outcomes.

His commitment to continuous innovation led to the creation of Sunrise Hospitals, built to make advanced surgical care accessible to more people. Over the years, he also developed the Sunrise Methods—advanced laparoscopic techniques that have helped surgeons deliver safer and more precise care—while personally training over 6,000 surgeons across the world.

As milestones grew, one principle never changed: patients always came first. For more than three decades, Dr. Hafeez Rahman has built a legacy defined not by numbers alone, but by compassion, innovation, and the countless lives transformed.

Dr. Hafeez Rahman & Sunrise Hospitals.
A journey built on innovation, excellence, and Care Beyond Cure.

"Quality healthcare is a right, not a compromise."

Our Chairman, Dr. Hafeez Rahman (Founder/Chairman, Sunrise Group of Hospitals), recently shared his insights on 24 News' popular debate show Thammil Thammil.

In this segment, he addresses critical disparities in medicine quality control, the impact of strict regulatory bills like the Clinical Establishments Bill on smaller healthcare centers, and why health insurance must focus on patient support rather than turning into a profit-driven business. For a truly sustainable healthcare system, every stakeholder must operate with unwavering ethical standards.

Humbled to receive the Dronacharya Award – A tribute to the power of sharing knowledge.

I am deeply honored and humbled to receive the Dronacharya Award from the Indian Association of Gynecological Endoscopy (IAGE).

In Indian culture, the 'Dronacharya' symbolizes the ultimate mentor. To be recognized not just for my surgical work, but for my role as a teacher, makes this award incredibly special to me.

Medicine is a field where we remain students for life, but we also have a duty to pass the torch. Over the years, I have had the privilege of training over 5,000 gynecologists worldwide in laparoscopic surgery. Watching these brilliant minds grow, refine their skills, and go on to heal countless patients is the greatest reward I could ask for.

This recognition belongs as much to my students as it does to me - your curiosity and dedication drive me to keep teaching.

A heartfelt thank you to the IAGE for this prestige, and to my team at Sunrise Group of Hospitals for supporting this vision of global education. The mission to spread knowledge continues!
