Excited to attend the 17th World Health Summit! 🌎 This year’s theme - “Taking Responsibility for Health in a Fragmenting World” - couldn’t be more timely. Excited for three days of inspiring sessions and learning. #WHS2025

Last Friday marked the end of my final summer internship @RoyalFreeNHS in beautiful London. I shadowed pharmacists across multiple specialties and contributed to a clinical audit on OTC post-op medicines and discharge TTAs. Thank you to the RFH pharmacy team.

3rd internship ✅ Uyole, Mbeya 🇹🇿. Thanks to TOBFC & Deb! Excited to contribute to the Phons & Mary O’Mara Polyclinic pharmacy project - diving into pharmacy regs/policies & working with the District Health Coordinator + hospital pharmacist to expand access.

Mixed feelings wrapping up my internship at NDTC. Grateful for the chance to work in addiction services and learn so much. Huge thanks to the amazing pharmacy team, GAs, nurses, doctors & everyone who supported me. Will really miss you all!

هم ‌میهنان عزیزم، در این روزهای تاریک و ناگوار، دل من با دل‌های شماست. دردتان را احساس می‌کنم، شجاعت‌تان را می‌ستایم، و به روح بزرگ و استوار ملت‌مان ایمان دارم. در حالی‌که سایه‌ی جنگ بر سرزمین‌مان افتاده، می‌خواهم بدانید که تنها نیستید. نیروی ما در اتحادمان، در تاریخ پرشکوه‌مان، و در اراده‌ی شکست ‌ناپذیرمان نهفته است. ایران، سرزمینی که بارها از آزمون‌های سخت عبور کرده، هر بار با عزت و شکوهی بیشتر برخاسته است. بیایید در این روزهای دشوار، عشق‌مان را به یکدیگر حفظ کنیم، از بی‌گناهان محافظت کنیم، و شعله‌ی امید را در دل خانه‌هایمان روشن نگاه داریم. باشد که صلح به زودی بازگردد، و آینده‌ای روشن‌تر از گذشته برای ایران عزیز رقم بخورد. من، همیشه در کنار شما هستم. به امید پیروزی نور بر تاریکی و آزادی ایران زمین. My dear compatriots, In these dark and uncertain days, my heart aches with yours. I feel your pain, and I salute your bravery, and your unwavering spirit. As war casts its shadow across our land, I want you to know that you are not alone — our strength lies in our unity, our history, and our unbreakable will to endure. Iran has weathered storms before, and each time, we have risen with greater courage and grace. Let us hold fast to our love for one another, protect the innocent, and keep the flame of hope alive in every home. May peace return swiftly, and may our future shine brighter than our past ever was. I stand with you — always. With all my love and prayers, Light will prevail over darkness

[7] We pray for peace. We pray for all civilians affected in Iran, Israel, or anywhere touched by this conflict. We hope for an end to violence, for justice that, unfortunately, so often comes at the cost of innocent lives,

[1] This is a very difficult post to write, but I feel it's an important one. The ongoing conflict involving Iran and Israel has been incredibly heavy for Iranians everywhere - both those inside the country and those of us living abroad.

Today marked the end of my first internship this summer at the NCPE. I'm deeply grateful to all the staff and especially my supervisors for their guidance and support over the past few weeks.

It’s called the “Persian Gulf” for 2,500 years. Never under Shah’s leadership could you call the “Persian Gulf” anything else. Only under the current tyrannical leadership of Iran could you do that. The IRGC destroyed the once rich history of Iran.🇮🇷

Great to be back at the annual @EASLnews Congress this time in sunny Amsterdam 🇳🇱. A few excellent days of learning and engaging discussions. #EASL2025
