Aamir Jafarey

Dr Aamir Jafarey is a General Surgeon and a Bioethicist. His claim to fame is the legacy of his mother, Ada Jafarey, often recognized as the First Lady of Urdu poetry. Together with his daughter Asra, he spent over 12 years translating Ada’s autobiography, ‘Jo Rahi So Be-khabar Rahi’ from Urdu to English, titled ‘A World of Her Own’ published by Sangi Publishing House in 2023. The translation offers valuable insights into the life and work of this literary icon. In his professional capacity, Dr Jafarey serves as a Professor of Bioethics at the Centre of Biomedical Ethics and Culture, SIUT in Karachi, Pakistan. Transitioning from surgery to full-time bioethics, he combines his medical expertise with ethical exploration, reflecting his commitment to meaningful interdisciplinary work.
