Ten years ago, Zeynaddin Nilab’s family fled their home country Afghanistan to found asylum in Azerbaijan. Despite the many obstacles she faced as a newcomer in a foreign country, Nilab remained determined to achieve her dreams and she succeeded.

Her hard work and dedication at school paid off as she was accepted into medical college. Nilab was thrilled to be given the opportunity to study medicine, as it had been a dream of hers since she was a little girl.

Upon graduation, Nilab started her career as a nurse working at “Leyla medical center” in the perinatal department. She quickly fell in love with her work, finding it to be both rewarding and challenging. “I love my colleagues for their support and guidance throughout my journey. Their willingness to share knowledge and expertise has allowed me to improve and expand my skills” says Nilab.

Through hard work, dedication, and a passion for her work, Nilab achieved success in a foreign country where she began her journey as a refugee. She is proud of her accomplishments and grateful for the opportunities that UN and Azerbaijani society had given her. Nilab knows that her journey is far from over, but she is excited to continue learn- ing and growing as a nurse, providing the best possible care for her patients.
