In this inspiring episode of Daktari a Quick One, we sit down with Dr. Irfan Samji, a Kenyan doctor of Indian ancestry, whose remarkable journey to becoming a qualified physician is anything but ordinary.
Now a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) and a Quality Specialist at Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi, Dr. Samji opens up about the obstacles he faced on his path to medicine. From poor career guidance and a lack of mentorship to falling victim to a fake university scam in Dubai, he candidly shares how he lost nearly three years of his youth chasing a dream on the wrong path.
But this isn’t a story of defeat — it’s one of resilience, grit, and self-discovery. Dr. Samji eventually found his way to China, where he pursued and completed his medical degree against all odds.
This episode is not just a conversation — it’s an eye-opener for young people navigating career choices, especially those considering medicine, and a reminder of the importance of access to proper mentorship and reliable information.
