Question 1: Why Do You Want to Work for the World Bank? As a medical doctor specializing in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and with a Master’s in Public Health, I am deeply motivated by the opportunity to address systemic health challenges on a global scale. My experience on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic illuminated the urgent need for resilient, equitable healthcare systems, particularly in underserved regions. This experience aligned profoundly with the World Bank’s mission to reduce poverty and enhance shared prosperity, and it inspired me to apply my skills to public health projects that can drive real, lasting change. I have a strong commitment to advancing gender equality and health equity, recognizing that improving women’s health yields significant benefits for economic stability and societal progress. In low-resource settings, maternal health directly impacts broader development outcomes, as healthier women contribute more effectively to the workforce and their communities. The World Bank’s emphasis on health equity, economic participation, and inclusivity aligns with my career focus, especially in women's health, which I view as a foundational element for sustainable development. The World Bank’s unparalleled reach and resources provide the ideal platform to bring these priorities to life on a larger scale. By joining the Young Professionals Program, I am excited to leverage my clinical and public health expertise to support the organization’s impactful work, driving initiatives that empower communities, reduce disparities, and promote long-term health resilience globally.
