A refugee ‘doctor for all patients’ in Pakistan

Description

Dr. Saleema Rehman’s star shines brightly at the Holy Family Hospital in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, where she works as a talented resident obstetrician-gynaecologist. As an Afghan refugee, she had to scale massive hurdles to make it this far. But now she must hope for legal rights that will allow her to realize her long-fought dream to serve her community, and Pakistan, too.
