Burnout & moral injury in medicine have affected so many health care workers. As a mid-career physician, here’s what I’ve learned to combat it - I hope others find it to be helpful.

In Islamabad, Pakistan, Bill Gates received presentations from Aga Khan University research faculty Dr Zahra Hoodbhoy and Dr Muhammad Imran Nisar, highlighting impact of BMGF-supported projects in paediatrics, and maternal and child health.
Meeting privately with AKU President Dr. Shahabuddin, Bill Gates appreciated the collaboration with AKU and both explored areas to enhance partnership impact, particularly for climate change. President Shahabuddin invited Mr. Gates to visit AKU's campuses in Pakistan and East Africa.
AKU is proud of its alumni body. Dr Anita Zaidi (MBBS 1988) leads BMGF's Gender Equality Division which focuses on improving lives and livelihoods for women and children in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
How can we guarantee a future where more women and girls thrive? By expanding access to life-saving vaccines.
HPV vaccines prevent 90% of cervical cancer cases, yet 350k women die each year due to access.
I'll always remember the day in 2017, we had to urgently transport our mother to Karachi in an ambulance on a 10-hour journey. This experience is common in Quetta due to limited access to quality healthcare. Unless we take action, no one else will do it for us. In 2018, we undertook the challenging task of establishing a world-class facility in Quetta with the aim of delivering high-quality care closer to home.
Fast forward five years, and we are on the brink of opening our doors to a cutting-edge multi specialty facility equipped with digital health management systems, modern operating theaters, a cardiac catheterization lab, Siemens MRI and CT scan machines, and Roche diagnostic laboratory services. We are determined to prevent other families from going through what my mother experienced.
Crucially, congenital heart disease disproportionately affects underprivileged children, and there is currently no CHD facility in Balochistan and Afghanistan. Through our foundation, Aria for Life Foundation (which is tax-exempt in the US), we will offer free treatment for children with this condition. We initially started this journey alone, but we invite you to join hands with us to make it a success for our families and patients.

@Riazkhan2448 The ultrasound picture shows intestinal worm infestation. The long ribbon like figures are the worms. It is quite a common cause of abdominal pain in children in LMICs.
Learnt something exciting today and thought might share it here. A young patient presents with chronic abdominal pain with loose stools. Ultrasound abdomen was performed. Findings are shown in the attached picture. So what's the diagnosis? #medtwitter
