I am a GMC and DHA-licensed Specialist Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. I have worked as a clinician in Pakistan, United Kingdom and UAE. I am a Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, UK (MRCOG) and a Fellow of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan (FCPS). I have the unique privilege of being filmed on the BBC in 2020 for a medical documentary while doing a complex obstetric procedure in the UK.
I am a recipient of President of Pakistan's award for academic excellence. I also hold an MPhil degree from the University of Sydney, Australia. My main area of research interest is immune cell changes in female infertility. I have published and presented my research work at international forums.
