I found the need to reinvent HUDA Clinic as a whole, which entailed adapting its policies to the changing landscape of healthcare. I learned quickly that I’d need to broaden HUDA’s vision, in that a solely primary care clinic was no longer the answer. Rather, HUDA would need to offer those services that continue to remain inaccessible and unaffordable. Working alongside physicians, I was able to expand our dental clinic, and introduced psychiatry and podiatry services. I recruited more volunteer physicians, enabling us to expand our services. Today, the organization is able to serve a considerably larger underserved and underinsured population.

Ever since I was young, I was drawn to the medical field. Looking back, it all appears as a nightmare now: a cold room, no electricity, and my parents imploring for the nurses help.

Thus today, it is my goal to make a significant contribution to the health of the future generations. My passion for the medical field combined with my determination on building and perpetuating an outstanding healthcare service, has lead me to pursue a master’s degree in Health Administration
