Philosophy of Care

Health is not solely limited within the walls of the hospital; instead, it is impacted by the culture and society we live in. I am particularly drawn to Infectious Diseases as a specialty, because of its connection to the community through public health efforts and, most importantly, its deep-rooted understanding of a patient’s socio-cultural background. I aspire to work together with my patients to become provide compassionate care and become an advocate for equitable health across all socioeconomic populations.
