Dr. Hussain is a GP at Project Surgery, Newham, and has responded to the coronavirus outbreak by setting up initiatives such as online appointments and drive-through immunization clinics.
She said: “It’s wonderful to be part of this campaign and to be photographed by Rankin. It’s difficult to put into words how privileged I feel to be able to go to work every day and make a difference in people’s lives.”
Commenting on the role of Asians in the NHS, Dr. Hussain said that it “really benefits from migrants.”
“My father came to work in the NHS back in 1970 from East Pakistan. He came to the UK on a scholarship to do some post-graduate study as an anesthetist.

“However the war broke out the year after so he lost his scholarship and was left caring for a wife and a one-year-old son so he stayed here and served the NHS as an anesthetist for many, many years.”
Dr. Hussain continues to be inspired by her parents and said: “When I look after my patients, I remember that they are someone’s family.”
