Hi! I am a country coordinator for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to eradicate hunger and promote sustainable agriculture. As a member of the FAO team, my role involves providing guidance and support to the government and other stakeholders in Pakistan to ensure the implementation of the One Health Policy, a framework that recognizes the inter connectivity of human, animal, and environmental health

Apart from my work in the field of public health, I also have a keen interest in the study of bats. Bats are fascinating creatures that play an important ecological role as pollinators, seed dispersers, and insect controllers. However, they are often misunderstood and subject to negative perceptions due to their association with diseases like COVID-19.
