Born and raised in the serene, picturesque Lolab Valley of Jammu & Kashmir, Dr. Aamir Iqbal Lone’s journey from a quiet Himalayan village to becoming one of Kupwara’s most trusted gynecologists is a remarkable story of dedication, purpose and heartfelt service. Growing up in a region known for its natural beauty but limited medical facilities, he witnessed early on how women in rural areas struggled to access timely, specialized healthcare. These childhood experiences planted in him a deep desire to pursue medicine not as a career alone, but as a responsibility toward his people.

Driven by this mission, he pursued his medical education with unwavering determination. After completing his MBBS, he went on to achieve DGO and DNB (Obstetrics & Gynecology), strengthening his expertise in women’s health. To stay aligned with modern surgical advancements, he earned a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery (FMAS), gaining advanced laparoscopic training. Every academic milestone he achieved was shaped by one clear vision: to return to his homeland and serve the community that shaped him.

True to his promise, Dr. Aamir chose to serve in North Kashmir despite numerous opportunities elsewhere. Today, at Sub District Hospital (SDH) Kupwara, he stands as a pillar of women’s healthcare—handling routine and high-risk pregnancies, infertility cases, laparoscopic procedures and major gynecological surgeries. His calm decision-making, precise treatment plans and compassionate communication have earned him immense respect from colleagues and heartfelt trust from patients.

*Over the years, Dr. Aamir has won countless hearts—especially of women and families who had completely lost hope of becoming parents. Many patients share emotional stories of how, after being told elsewhere that they might never conceive, they found new hope under his care. With Allah’s blessings first, and then his expert treatment, numerous couples have finally been blessed with healthy babies after years of disappointment. This extraordinary ability to bring joy where hope was fading has made him a beloved figure across Kupwara and Lolab.*

Beyond the hospital walls, he remains deeply committed to spreading awareness about women’s health. He frequently participates in community outreach programs focused on menstrual hygiene, reproductive health, PCOD, infertility, antenatal care and general wellness. His efforts have helped break taboos and bring essential knowledge to remote villages where such topics are rarely discussed.

Despite his achievements, what makes Dr. Aamir truly exceptional is his humility and strong connection to his roots. He carries the calmness of Lolab Valley within him—never forgetting where he began or whom he serves. His journey is a testament to how a young boy from a remote village can rise to become a lifeline for thousands, while remaining grounded, sincere and compassionate.

From the peaceful fields of Lolab to the busy corridors of Kupwara’s healthcare system, Dr. Aamir Iqbal Lone continues to embody service, hope and healing. Today, he stands not just as a doctor, but as a symbol of progress for women’s health in the region — a true healing touch from Lolab Valley whose journey keeps inspiring and uplifting countless lives.
