Career

Medical and administrative work

Tabish joined the Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Srinagar, where he held a series of clinical, academic, and administrative appointments. As head of emergency services between the late 1990s and early 2010s, he oversaw the development of expanded emergency-care facilities and initiated programs related to disaster management, infection control, and quality improvement.[17]

At SKIMS and later at Qassim University in Saudi Arabia, Tabish contributed to curricular development, training programs for clinical staff, and the introduction of structured courses in emergency care, life-support skills, and nursing education. He participated in several institutional initiatives related to medical education, problem-based learning, and hospital management.

In 1998, he represented India at the World Health Forum in Dallas, an international meeting focused on health policy and hospital systems.[18][19]

Author and Poet

Tabish has written over 300 articles in English, Urdu, and Kashmiri over four decades. His first book, Hussaini Karvanuk Safar (a history of Karbala), has been included in the curriculum for Master's in the Kashmiri language.

At age 24, Tabish served as Secretary-General of the Kashmir Cultural Organisation from 1982 to 1987 and was editor of Koshur Akhbar, the first weekly Kashmiri-language newspaper in India.[20]

Additionally, Tabish is also a poet. He has written poetry in English, Urdu, and Kashmiri. Four music CDs featuring over 70 songs based on his poems — Doad te Dug, Ake Omri Hound Souruye Safar, Sakoon Diluk, and Mioth Zaher — have been released.[21][22][23]

He established a 100-bed emergency department with a tiered level system, which was probably the first of its kind. He also initiated a disaster management program, including a ward dedicated to treating mass casualties efficiently.

As the medical superintendent and head of hospital administration, he introduced initiatives such as total quality management, hospital infection control, and stoma care.[20]

Between 2000 and 2005, Tabish implemented training programs for doctors and nurses at SKIMS, including basic life support, advanced life support, and advanced cardiac life support to strengthen emergency and critical care services.[1][2][20]
