Biography

I have a professional background in pharmacy, with experience at the Ministry of Health, Malaysia's facilities, including public health clinics and a general hospital. I also have experience in enforcing Malaysian laws related to pharmacy at the state level under the Ministry of Health, Malaysia. I earned my Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours (in 2009) and Master's in Pharmaceutical Sciences (in 2020) from International Islamic University, Malaysia (Kuantan Campus), where I developed a strong foundation in the pharmacy area. Currently, I’m under the training of the SDGs Global Leader Programme provided by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, and have been working on global health concerns since October 2022, while pursuing my doctoral programme in medicine at Juntendo University, Tokyo, Japan. Beyond my professional work, I’m passionate about universal health coverage (UHC) and sustainable development goals (SDGs), focusing on improving health systems in general as well as health services in particular. I am also interested in ageing-related issues and innovations for improvements since the world is currently progressing to an ageing society. I’m always eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals, explore innovative solutions, and contribute to impactful projects, and I look forward to connecting with others who share similar values and ambitions.
