Kohinoor is a Grade 10 student at Albert College in Canada, with a focused interest in medicine and an aspiration to become a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. At Fifteen, she is already thinking seriously about what that path means not just in the operating room, but in the broader landscape of surgical care, patient recovery and medical advocacy.
Her interest in acid attack survivors grew from that same place. When Kohinoor learned about the scale of acid violence and the complex, multi-year medical journey that survivors face from emergency care to reconstructive surgery to psychological rehabilitation. She wanted to do something meaningful with what she was learning. That led her to ASF, and to this blog series.
Written as part of her contribution to Acid Survivors Foundation, this blog series – “From Awareness to Action”, explores the full continuum of care for acid attack survivors. Each post is rooted in medical science and shaped by a genuine desire to make that knowledge accessible. Kohinoor writes about skin regeneration, reconstructive procedures, trauma and mental health, legal barriers and economic recovery with the same care she hopes to one day bring to her patients.
She believes that awareness is its own form of medicine. And she is just getting started.
