Speaking multiple languages, including Urdu and Punjabi, has significantly enriched my ability to communicate with diverse populations.

Whether engaging with patients in rural hospitals, supporting underserved communities, or collaborating with healthcare professionals, my multilingual abilities have been invaluable in breaking language barriers and addressing people's needs effectively.
