From the Frontlines of COVID19 - My Little Sis Dr. Aisha Khatib
Manage episode 261700294 series 2673736
Meet Dr. Aisha Khatib, a clinical director for a travel health clinic working on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic- who also happens to be my little sister.
Since the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak, she had been providing me with up-to-date information as she experienced it firsthand. However, on March 13th, our usual phone call was different. Aisha described the lack of resources and personal protective equipment for healthcare workers and her prediction of the global impact that COVID-19 would have. I was concerned for my sister and the other healthcare practitioners and professions who were risking their lives to save others -- I knew that I needed to help. I decided the best way to help my little sister was to utilize our incredible pipeline of the world’s best tech talent to help those on the frontlines. A couple days later, my sister shared a Medium article about two physicians who were developing an open-source not-for-profit app called AskCo19.com. I reached out to them, and two weeks later, with the help of the best coders, developers, marketers, and translators from around the world, AskCo19 launched.
Listen to the third installment of “Yousuf's Adventures in Zebra Hunting” to hear more about her incredible work and to get a glimpse into working on the front-lines of the world’s current greatest challenge.
