Rizvi was born on 11 September 1938 in a small village Kalanpur in Jaunpur district, Uttar Pradesh, British India. He graduated from Dow Medical College in Karachi, Pakistan in 1968. Thereafter he went to UK to pursue his postgraduate training. After finishing his studies there, he returned to Pakistan. "In those days most people returned from the UK with cars, but guess what, Dr. Rizvi returned with a container full of medical equipment". [3]
