on Saturday, April 30, the Anti-Defamation League will be honoring Dr. Ikram Khan of Las Vegas, NV, with its prestigious Distinguished Public Service Award. As every Member of the U.S. Senate knows, the Anti-Defamation League has been a staunch advocate for justice and human rights throughout the world. To be esteemed by that organization is a great tribute because it recognizes years of selfless dedication and commitment to the rights of individuals throughout the world. I have known Dr. Ikram Khan for many years, as both a friend and as a trusted advisor, and I am elated that his work has been noticed not only in Nevada but internationally. Dr. Khan was born in Karachi, Pakistan, on February 21 and he graduated 2d in his class from the Dow Medical College in Karachi in 1972, and he was awarded two gold medals for academic excellence while enrolled in school. He received additional training in England and the United States before moving to Boulder City, NV, in 1978 to begin a private practice in general surgery, practicing in all of Clark County. In 1984, he moved to Las Vegas to continue his medical practice. Currently, he is on staff at all of the hospitals in southern Nevada. He also serves as medical director of the Fremont Medical Center, and he has been a member of the prestigious State Board of Medical Examiners.
