About me
I am a senior Pharmacist, Manager of Pharmacy & Supply Chain, and ISO 9001:2015 QMS Certified Lead Auditor with over 20 years of experience across hospital pharmacy operations, supply chain management, clinical services, and quality assurance. I am also an Assessor for the Islamabad Healthcare Regulatory Authority (IHRA), providing expert opinion, and I currently serve as Manager, Pharmacy & Supply Chain at The Diabetes Centre, Pakistan. I am here to share my experience and expertise with healthcare professionals and learners worldwide.
As a highly skilled and accomplished pharmacy leader, I bring comprehensive experience collaborating with multidisciplinary healthcare teams, managing daily operations, and ensuring optimal levels of regulatory compliance (DRAP, SFDA, JCI) and patient service and support. I am prepared to help you significantly contribute to your organization's goals and objectives.
My background includes key experience and success in fast-paced, patient-oriented healthcare environments. From communicating effectively with cross-functional staff and recommending process improvements to driving quality assurance and counselling patients on medications and drug therapy programs, I excel at prioritizing tasks, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and developing effective communication and organizational procedures.
Throughout my career—including roles as Chief Pharmacist/Pharmacy Director at Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, Pharmacy Manager at City Care Hospital, and Quality & Medication Safety Supervisor at Northern Area Armed Forces Hospital (NAAFH), Saudi Arabia—I have led medication safety and quality improvement initiatives, managed multi-million rupee budgets, optimized formularies, and driven procurement and logistics excellence. I received appreciation from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) for excellence in pharmacovigilance practices and an Appreciation Shield from the Ministry of Defence (MOD), Saudi Arabia, for outstanding logistics and procurement performance.
As a senior Pharmacist, I also serve as a mentor for junior colleagues in my department and as a preceptor for university students who join us for training and internships.
