Sultan Ahmed Cheema (1908 to 1990) was a physician who practised in Pakistan after the country was created in 1947, at a time when doctors there were few. Because of the acute shortage he served at several divisional and district hospitals at the same time. Later in his career he established the Cheema Hospital in Daska, which became very well known for ophthalmology, and patients travelled to it from places as far apart as Kabul and Karachi. The President of Pakistan decorated him with the civil medal Sitara-i-Khidmat for his services. He also served as President of the Ophthalmological Society of Pakistan and was a Member of the National Assembly of Pakistan.
