Summary

I am a Global Health professional dedicated to advancing health equity and improving community well-being, with a strong focus on achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) Good Health and Well-being. My career reflects a steadfast commitment to addressing public health challenges in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) through strategic interventions and evidence-based approaches.

I began my journey with the Government of Pakistan, contributing to policies aimed at reducing health disparities and enhancing community well-being. Transitioning to the Center for Economic Research in Pakistan (CERP) and later IRD Global, I supported transformative initiatives, including the Pakistan Deworming Initiative, fostering sustainable educational and health outcomes.

Currently, as a Health Nutrition Officer at Muslim Hands Pakistan, I lead public health and nutrition programs tailored to vulnerable communities, ensuring alignment with SDG 3 by promoting accessible, quality healthcare and nutrition support.

A graduate of the Global Health Delivery Intensive (GHDI) program at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, I have further solidified my expertise in health systems strengthening and delivery in LMICs. This experience underscores my dedication to implementing innovative and sustainable solutions in resource-constrained settings.
