volunteering in healthcare

Volunteering Experience
1.Volunteer Pathologist – Civil Hospital, Khwaza khela.
During my time at the Civil Hospital in my village, I worked as a volunteer pathologist, conducting routine diagnostic tests such as blood counts and urine analyses. I was also responsible for preparing and interpreting samples, ensuring accurate results, and collaborating with the medical team to support patient care. This experience allowed me to build a strong foundation in pathology while serving my community.
2. Volunteer Microbiologist – PIMS Hospital,islamabad
At PIMS Hospital, I volunteered in the microbiology lab, where I focused on performing culture tests to identify pathogens. I also worked on antimicrobial sensitivity testing, helping guide treatment decisions for patients. This role strengthened my practical skills in microbiology, and I gained valuable experience using advanced tools while adhering to strict safety and sterilization protocols.

I also had the opportunity to work in hematology and biochemistry labs, where I performed tests like complete blood counts, coagulation profiles, and biochemical analyses (e.g., liver and kidney function tests). I learned the importance of maintaining quality control and ensuring accuracy in every test, which deepened my understanding of laboratory diagnostics.
