He has been credited with laying the foundation for the Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, a neurosurgical institution in Pakistan.[4][5]

Ahmad has developed techniques for performing neurosurgical procedures using a microscope;[9] using a flexible tube with a camera and light on the end; using small incisions to perform surgery on the spine; and using small catheters and instruments to perform surgery on the blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord.
