I came back to
Pakistan from UK a year and a half ago to study dentistry. There was a lot of
competition over there and I could not have made it to a good school so that’s
why instead of choosing any other country, I chose my homeland. Although I was
raised in UK, I can speak the native language (Pashto) fluently. I wish to the
change of perception of dentistry in Pakistan, particularly among kids.
Dentists are perceived to be scary and crude. I want to change this perception
by changing the dentists’ approach. I have also observed that most Pakistanis
don’t usually go to dentists because they cannot afford the treatment. Instead
of getting the bad tooth treated, they prefer to get it extracted because it is
less expensive. However, in reality it is more painful and gives birth to
various diseases like HIV because of unhygienic use of medical equipment’s.
I got this inspiration
from a friend of mine who was fundraising for war affected people of Syria
where he started going door to door to collect funds. After getting my degree,
apart from working in Pakistan, I am going to travel to the poor countries of
the world and tend to children and poor people for free; especially those who
cannot afford dentists and have no choice but to let their teeth go bad. I don’t
believe in equality but in equity when it comes to helping others. After all,
everyone has the right to a safe and healthy life.
