Meet a UK Health Ambassador

Athika Ahmed is a member of the Cardiff and Vale Health Youth Board and said her Bangladeshi heritage and traditional values are partly what inspired her to get involved with the Youth Board and aspire to become a doctor. 

Athika Ahmed is a 23-year-old health ambassador in Wales, known for her advocacy in women's health and her efforts to educate young people about health issues.

Athika Ahmed is a medical student at Cardiff University and has been involved in health advocacy since she was 16 years old. She has worked as a health ambassador, focusing on raising awareness about women's health issues, including endometriosis, menopause, and menstrual health. Her work aims to break the stigma surrounding these topics, particularly among young Muslim girls, and to promote better health education in schools.

This looks like a joke, but it is not. This is Britain today.
