Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
EDI has been a strong focus of our work over the past 2 years, especially as early evidence emerged that the first four doctors to die on the frontline from COVID-19 were Muslim. We conducted research at the MDA which demonstrated that over 50% of doctors who died from COVID-19 during the first wave were of Muslim heritage. Notable achievements over the past 2 years includes the effective execution of these impactful initiatives, which continue to drive positive and lasting change.
