Chevening is looking for individuals with strong networking skills, who will engage ...
I believe that having solid networking skills is vital for success and having this skills necessitates superb interpersonal and communication skills.
In the year 2011, when the revolution started in Libya, bombs and natos started to come down regularly in our houses. This war created thousands of casualties. This presented new challenges to us doctors on both sides in the conflict, as we sought to save our patients' lives.
It was exactly that time when I had my duty in Intensive Care Unit in an area which is approximately 70kms away from my hometown. Some of the doctors and nurses on duty began to evacuate, and I was one of the doctors who chose to stay in the hospital. Imagine our situation when there is very few healthcare workers, inadequate amount of medical supplies, and yet hundreds of casualties were brought to the hospital. I was the head of the Triage Team, who determined the urgent cases to non-critical ones, designated tasks to the team, communicated and collaborated with every departments in the hospital, and inter-hospital transfers.
Later on, I volunteered to help in Benghazi, the place most affected by war. I was one of the doctors who encouraged, organized and built a team of healthcare professionals that will provide management to the respondents. I coordinated with the Ministry of Health to seek assistance for medical supplies, manpower, and ambulance. Casualties had to be taken from the field of battle to the places where we, doctors and nurses could treat them. They were collected by stretcher-bearers and moved by a combination of people and cart, and later on by motorized ambulance 'down the line'. Men would be moved until they reached a location where treatment for their specific injury would take place.
With all these experiences, I've learned that seeing the casualties of combat does more than produce war doctors capable of caring for any injury. It has the paradoxical power to create doctors with an extraordinary appreciation for all humanity. I suppose that having this fruitful networking with my fellow healthcare professionals, the ministry, was not just because of interpersonal or communication skills, but because of having this passion beyond the call of duty.
Recently, I am working in International Medical Corps which is a global humanitarian organization, wherein I am a Doctor Supervisor for Sea Rescue Team, Detention Center Team and On-Call Emergency Team that aims to provide disaster relief, deliver health care to underserved regions, build clinics, and train local health care workers with the goal of creating self-reliant and self-sustaining medical services.
Yes, we are `n`ow experiencing chaos in our country however, if be given a chance to be a chevening scholar, it's an assurance that I will be a role model to my Libyan fellows that there is still hope that we can change for the better. I will be very committed and passionate to enrich my networking, capability and knowledge and transfer them to improve Libya.
