About Dr. Rahila Ali

I was born and raised in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. Some of the globally famous highest peaks and longest glaciers of this region attract a large number of mountaineers, and tourists from all over the world. However, this region of Pakistan remained deprived of modern facilities and quality healthcare for a long. I feel privileged to be born into a family headed by a father who was among the few doctors in the town. Therefore, from my childhood, I was deeply inspired by my father who worked after office hours to help those who could not afford to visit hospitals. I have earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine from Fatima Jinnah Medical University.

I am thankful to the Memorial Hospital for providing me with an opportunity to acquire empirical experiences in modern healthcare. During the residency, I aim to improve my clinical knowledge and skills to serve underprivileged society with quality and affordable healthcare. I want to be another inspiring example that others would wish to follow me.

I would be a chef if I was not a doctor. I like to cook different recipes of Pakistani and Indian cuisine. Apart from that I enjoy spending time with my husband and going on long drives to explore nature.
