About Dr. Ibtesam
Hi, I'm Dr. Ibtesam Nawaz. I completed my MBBS at Islamabad Medical and Dental College in Islamabad, Pakistan, followed by my medical internship at Dr. Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital, also in Islamabad.
Today, I serve as a Medical Officer at Tehsil Headquarters Hospital in Kharian, Pakistan, where I see patients from all walks of life. Women's healthcare has always been close to my heart — I've seen firsthand how many women face unique health challenges that go unaddressed simply because no one takes the time to ask the right questions. That's why I work hard to provide care that's not just comprehensive, but genuinely empathetic, so every patient feels heard.

What drives me
“The natural process of menstruation is not something that should be deemed too gross, too weird, or too inappropriate to discuss. It's a normal part of life for billions of women worldwide, and it should be acknowledged as such.”
