Background

I received my medical training in Myanmar and have since gained extensive experience working in humanitarian settings, including with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). During my time with MSF, I held various roles that spanned clinical practice, advocacy, and management. In addition to my fieldwork, I am actively involved in academic teaching and capacity-building programs, where I contribute to the development of future healthcare professionals and public health practitioners.
