He passed matriculation in 1946 and the Intermediate examination in 1948 from Karachi, and obtained his MBBS in 1953 from Dow Medical College.[3]
Medical career
Dr. Najam Abbasi worked for the Government for six years and then started a private charitable hospital[4] in Hyderabad, Sindh in 1959.
Literary career
His literary career started as a poet during his studentship in 1941. Up to 1948 he had written over one hundred poems, some of which were published in Sindhi newspapers and magazines. He concentrated on prose and emerged as a story writer. He wrote his first story in 1944; before that, he had written one novel, "Eshq ji Raah Anrangi" (Path of Love is complicated). Dr. Najam Abbasi was one of the few literary figures of Sindh who had seen three generations of socio-political societies: one before the partition of Indo-Pak, one during partition, and the last one after Partition of India. On the basis of his experiences and research, he depicted the conditions and scenario of urban and rural lives in Sindh. He not only highlighted national issues but also wrote many stories on international topics. His stories are the echo of the pains of the deprived class, sentiments and hopes of the helpless, and the cry for social values. He produced and inspired a large number of young readers who took inspiration from him and started writing.[5]
