What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in cardiology, emphasizing patient-centered care and opportunities for professional growth.

I am an interventional cardiologist and assistant professor at the Sindh Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (SICVD), where I specialize in acute stroke intervention and adult cardiology. My journey in medicine began with an MBBS degree, followed by extensive training in cardiology, culminating in a fellowship in interventional cardiology. I am passionate about advancing cardiac care and have dedicated my career to improving patient outcomes through innovative treatment approaches.

Throughout my professional experience, I have held various positions, including fellowships and consultancy roles at prestigious institutions such as the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases and Tabba Heart Institute. My commitment to education is reflected in my teaching responsibilities, where I mentor junior colleagues and medical students, fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals. I have also contributed to numerous research projects, resulting in publications that address critical issues in cardiology.
