Fazila Lalani, Humanitarian Outreach in India

India is the world's second most populous country, and as a result gets to both experience the positives and negatives of such rapid growth in people. On the plus side, there is the opportunity for the economy to increase rapidly, and businesses to use the potential labor force to bolster the economy and create a certain level of wealth. We often hear of India being one of the fastest developing countries, with many companies moving things like technology support their to save money, which also provide millions of people with work. However, as it is with any large population, trying to create an infrastructure in health for example, tat suits everyone, can be difficult, and varies wildly across the social divide.

Dr Fazila Lalani is one of many medically trained professionals who has strived to use their medical experience to help improve medical services in some of the poorest regions of India. Whilst in the major cities, the medical treatment is generally considered to be of a good level, despite the strain placed on it by the large and ever-growing population, much of the country doesn't have the resources of expert advice needed to improve their services. As a result, millions of Indian people fail to get the medical treatment they need to fight curable diseases and illnesses, and can cause premature deaths and life crippling injuries in the long run.

For Dr Fazila Lalani, using her Western medical education to help developing countries raise their own medical standards is hugely rewarding work. She has visited India three times on voluntary medical assistant programs, and is currently the visiting Professor for the Mission Hospital Emergency Med Residency Program, Durgapur. Here in this role, she has used her education and experience to help teach medical residences how to improve the general services in the medical centers there, and make the most out of the limited resources they have.

For Fazila Lalani, it is a hugely rewarding and important experience to go to countries such as India, Haiti and other third world or developing countries to try and improve the lives of others. With great academic knowledge and education comes responsibility, and how we choose to use that will determine the future of societies and mankind. Fazila Lalani believes that we can all find our altruistic inner urges to help make the world around s a better place, and in doing so improve mankind and humanities goals for everyone.
