I am a pharmacist who graduated from Damascus University/Syria. I have 8 years of experience as a healthcare provider in Syria before and during the conflict. My various work experience (in community pharmacy, medical insurance systems and pharmaceutical marketing) allowed me to look at the Syrian health system from different angles.
I have been awarded an MSc in Public Health for Development from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) in 2019.
An Alumna of both Chevening & LSHTM Scholarships.
