I graduated as a Medical Doctor (MD) from Balkh Medical College, Balk University Afghanistan in 2004. Since my graduation, I have worked in different roles for Mother and Child Health (MCH) in my own country, Afghanistan. I started my work from a rural area, Bamyan province as a midwife trainer/supervisor with an international NGO- Aga Khan Health Services-Afghanistan (AKHS-A). Soon after, I was involved in the establishment of a Community Midwifery Education Programme (CMEP) in that province. During my years of work experience, my interest in children made me focus more on children. As nutrition programmes are mostly for children and childbearing age mothers, I was also given the responsibility of nutrition programmes in my organisation which made me able to establish baby friendly hospital initiatives (BFHI) in both Provincial hospitals in Badakhshan and Bamyan hospitals in Afghanistan with the support of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH). A breast feeding programme was another nutrition programme that I started in the related health facilities of my organisation after training all MCH staff including midwives and female doctors in 2008... One of my main achievements for children was the initiation of an Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme. I designed and implemented this programme through the support of my organisation AKHS-A, after attending a science of ECD training (distance) conducted by Red River College, Canada. This programme is an integration of health components including nutrition with the education centres for children 3-6 years old in rural areas. All the health services and programmes of my organisation were in partnership with MoPH and other international/national communities at the country level.
