In January 2016, Prof. Dr. Tayyiba Wasim organised Pakistan's first-ever MRCOG Part II OSCE preparatory course at Mid City Hospital, Jail Road, Lahore. The MRCOG (Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) is the UK's primary postgraduate gynecology examination and is taken by doctors across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

TeamSTEPPS Training in Maternity Care — 2026
In May 2026, Prof. Dr. Tayyiba Wasim co-authored a study published in the Journal of Medical Education and Curricular Development on the impact of TeamSTEPPS training on teamwork and communication in a Pakistani maternity ward. TeamSTEPPS is a validated curriculum developed by the US Department of Defense and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to improve patient safety through structured communication.
Her study demonstrated measurable improvements in interprofessional teamwork on the labor ward, directly relevant to why Pakistan's pregnancy outcomes have historically been poor.
Research & Publications
Peer-reviewed research published in The Lancet, BJOG, and leading Pakistani medical journals — shaping clinical practice in obstetrics and gynecology.
The FAIR Trial — Published in The Lancet Haematology, January 2026
The FAIR Trial (Ferritin Screening and Iron treatment for maternal Anaemia and fetal growth Restriction) is a multicenter randomised controlled trial co-authored by Prof. Dr. Tayyiba Wasim. It was published in The Lancet Haematology in January 2026, one of the highest-impact haematology journals in the world.
The trial tested whether routine ferritin screening, not just haemoglobin screening, during pregnancy improves maternal and fetal outcomes. The results showed improved outcomes with intravenous iron over oral supplementation for women with non-anaemic iron deficiency. This finding is now influencing antenatal protocols in multiple countries.
"When Prof. Dr. Tayyiba Wasim recommends ferritin screening during your pregnancy, she helped write the clinical evidence that supports that recommendation. That is the difference between a practitioner and a researcher-clinician."

As editor, she oversees the review and publication of original research submitted by doctors and medical students from across Pakistan. This role places her at the centre of Pakistan's medical research output, not merely as a contributor but as a gatekeeper of research standards.
