Being a qualified doctor I have an interest in
the world affairs since my student time being President & chief organiser of the student unions . Therefore, politics is my area of interest along with the medicine and global issues which I found rewarding to explore topics like:
- Global health disparities : How healthcare systems and policies impact different populations worldwide.
- Humanitarian crises: The role of healthcare professionals in responding to conflicts, natural disasters, atrocities and other emergencies and lifesaving procedures like in recent crisis in Gaza , Iran and other countries with natural disasters and war-torn causalities .
- Health diplomacy : The intersection of health and international relations, including global health governance and policymaking with equality and justice.
I am engaging with organizations or initiatives that align with my interests, as a
medical specialist such as:
- World Doctors
Alliance : which we established in the wave of COVID pandemic and vaccine mandate in early 2020.
- Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
Providing medical humanitarian aid worldwide.
- Setting effective global health policies and standard
- Global health research initiatives: Exploring innovative solutions to pressing health challenges.
My unique perspective as a doctor with an interest in world affairs can contribute valuable insights to protect human catastrophes , discussions and initiatives aimed at improving global health and well-being.
Humanitarian support, charity, and human relief in war-torn areas are critical for saving lives and alleviating suffering. Some key aspects include:
- Emergency response :Providing immediate aid, such as food, shelter, and medical care, to those affected by conflict.
- Long-term support : Offering sustained assistance to help communities recover and rebuild.
- Protection of civilians : Advocating for the safety and dignity of civilians caught in conflict zones.
generations like the United Nations, Red Cross, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play vital roles in humanitarian efforts.
Some challenges in humanitarian work include:
Access and security : Ensuring safe access to affected areas and personnel safety. Number of health professionals died in Palestine recently while helping patients.
12 Funding and resources : Securing sufficient funding and resources to meet humanitarian needs.
- Coordination and collaboration: Effective collaboration among organizations to maximize impact.
My interest in humanitarian support , empathy and charity contributes in making a
positive difference in the lives of those affected by conflict, war torn , poor, and
helpless humans.
