Abbas T

DOCTOR Abbas is a GP based in Leicester, UK and is also a qualified acupuncturist and homeopath. He takes a keen interest in acute and emergency medicine and medical education and is currently in the process of proceeding to pursue a future in Pre Hospital Emergency Medicine which will involve him being in a helicopter ambulance.

Abbas joined A World Without Barriers on their first medical aid trip to Iraq in April 2016 and reflects on his time there on an almost daily basis. He quickly became familiar with patients who were in situations of absolute deprivation including orphans and widows with very minimal access to further investigations. One thing that particularly stood out to him was the lack of care for patients’ mental wellbeing – there were many cases of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and anxiety. His lifelong ambition with everything that he has done to date in the medical field has been inspired by his goal to help others in every way that he can. He endeavours to continue attending future medical aid trips with A World Without Barriers to continue to deliver medical aid to the most needy and vulnerable.
