We are proud to share that our newsletter volunteer, Aarush Gupta, a high school student from Ohio, recently hosted Dr. Ruhul Abid on his podcast New Beginnings.

In this episode, Dr. Abid reflects on his journey into humanitarian health, HAEFA’s response to crises such as the Rana Plaza collapse, and the development of NIROG, an encrypted electronic medical record system improving care coordination across refugee camps, mobile clinics, and government facilities in Bangladesh. He also discusses cervical cancer screening initiatives supported by Dr. Susan Cu-Uvin and the importance of prevention, nutrition, and long term community health.

A meaningful conversation on resilience, transparency, and building the next generation of humanitarians.
