Family Medicine Specialist, Dubai Health Authority

Published author and a Royal College of Surgeons graduate, Afra is currently in her second year of Family Medicine Residency Program at the Dubai Health Authority. 

Afra chose medicine because she believes she gained the great opportunity and privilege to not only make someone feel better, but also be better. She decided to specialize in Family Medicine because she says: “It offers an integrated continuous care for patients regardless of their age and gender.” 

She wants to use this program “…as a platform to tackle healthcare issues by communicating and working with the different sectors of the economy”. She firmly believes that healthcare concerns everyone and that it is important to work together with all sectors to promote and integrate it into all aspects of development.
