As a radiologist, Kaji is the founder and director of the Pink Pakistan Trust, a non-governmental organization that works for the welfare and welfare of Pakistani women with a focus on breast cancer prevention and care.
In the first two years, Pink Pakistan has opened breast cancer awareness centers in several locations and launched Pakistan’s first smartphone application.

Told. “The Sloan Program provides opportunities, resources, and guidance to strengthen management and management capabilities to play a leading role in my country’s healthcare sector.”
Sloan has been providing residential MHA for over 60 years, but Executive MHA has just launched a fourth cohort. Students can continue to work full-time by combining face-to-face learning at Isaka with remote course work. Some of the students in the room include clinicians, hospital managers, ancillary facility managers, and pharmaceutical company executives.
“Many students like Zubaida are so skilled that the atmosphere in the classroom is vibrant,” said Nicholson, who directs the MHA program. “I teach and learn at the same time. What she did and what she did in Pakistan inspires her classmates and teachers at Cornell University.”
Kaji says she has the knowledge to become a better manager, while Pink Pakistan admits that it has little to do with the Medicare pricing system. “By touching on how the US healthcare system works and its problems and solutions, it’s important to investigate my country’s healthcare system and find viable solutions to improve its performance. You can get insights, “she said.
