Why She Made New Zealand Her Home | Dr Maha Haddad | Wife, Mother and Specialist Doctor | S6:E8

Dr Maha Haddad is not your average typical Iraqi immigrant. You’d find her in the operating theatres one minute, and leading a church choir the next, all the while keeping her momma and wife duties up-to-date. She’s been in New Zealand for 28 years and she tells Mina Amso about the reality of being a doctor, moving from Iraq, living through war, the complexities of starting a family, holding on to Iraqi identity, and her views of the current health system in New Zealand. Oh, and chasing dreams!
