An excerpt from the book Game Changer: The story of Yasmin Amarsi & the Profession of Nursing in Pakistan details part of Dr Amarsi’s career. A pioneering leader in healthcare, she laid the foundation of AKU’s School of Nursing and Midwifery (SONAM), shaping the future of nursing in Pakistan and East Africa. As put by Director for Health at the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) Dr Gijs Walraven, "Dr. Amarsi is the most powerful advocate for the profession of nursing I have ever met. And she does this in her own humbling and charming manner, grounded in her decades of experience as a nursing professional, based on evidence and informed by her learning as a senior academic in different settings and environments.”
