I then served as a Dermatologist at Al Qunfidha Hospital under the Ministry of Health, Saudi Arabia, for five years. This role enriched my experience by exposing me to a diverse range of dermatological conditions and international healthcare standards.
Since 2005, I have been working as a Consultant Dermatologist at the Institute of Skin Diseases, Karachi. In this capacity, I provide specialized dermatological care, manage complex and chronic skin disorders, and contribute to the training and mentorship of upcoming dermatologists.
