Dr Nazir Kapadia has always been a teacher. From an early age, he was involved with the religious education centre of his local Platinum Jamatkhana in Karachi, Pakistan. His passion for serving and helping the community motivated his interest in medicine.
After completing the MBBS from Ziauddin University in Karachi, he finished a specialisation in emergency medicine at Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), where he received the best resident award in 2018. Right after graduation, Dr Kapadia had the opportunity to serve the community as part of the medical team during Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee visit to Garam Chashma, Chitral.
Dr Kapadia’s experience has primed him for his current role on the frontlines of the Covid-19 crisis. Today, he serves as an instructor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at AKUH. Aside from patient care, he is also enhancing other doctors’ knowledge and supervising their duty schedules to prevent disease exposure and spread among medical staff.
“Stay safe, be united, and encourage the youth to pursue a career in healthcare to serve our Jamat and society, as envisioned by Mawlana Hazar Imam.”
