"Gratitude, honesty and discipline are at my core." – Dr AafreenSoudagar
Women represent an overwhelming majority of the healthcare workforce, yet they are significantly underrepresented in leadership positions, particularly at the executive and board levels.
However, women are uniquely positioned to leverage traits such as compassion, transparency, and the ability to foster teamwork to lead organizations into the next phase of contemporary healthcare delivery.
In the future, the pace with which women gain access to the C-suite will accelerate as organizations embrace diversity and select the best-qualified leaders in terms of both experience and leadership style that supports organizational culture.
While the future for female in healthcare leadership looks bright, many women are currently struggling to reach the executive office, facing glass ceilings, competing priorities due to lack of support and guidance.
Well, there is a "wonder woman" at the leadership position of Kalsekar Hospital, Dr AafreenSoudagar from whom other women can take inspiration and overcome hurdles obstructing their goals.
The leading lady,Dr AafreenSoudagarholds over 15 years of experience in the healthcare industry. She is ambitious, principled and she likes to keep things under control at personal as well as professional life.

The climb to the top can be tough going for anyone. But as women, particular hurdles can make the journey upward toward positions of power and influence challenges.
But Dr AafreenSoudagar was quite lucky as she comes from a very humble family of educators where her father was a professor and her mother was a school principal. They taught her the importance of gratitude and the ultimate achievement in life is being at peace with oneself.
They encouraged her at every step of her journey, and she believes that whatever she hasachieved till today is only because of her parent's blessings and efforts.
Being a leader at any organization means you need to take tough decisions daily. There might be a time when you are emotional, but the situation demands you to be tough from outside.

Women are often subject to preconceived notions that they are less capable of being a strategic leader, preventing many from ascending to top leadership positions in health care. Keeping these biases in mind and being strategic can help women transcend this obstacle and achieve their career goals.
The scene towards Indian working women and especially successful women is changing quickly. Society has gradually accepted that not only men, women can also lead from the front.
Majority of parent's even less-educated ones are supporting their daughter's dream. Stereotypical male affinity in specific sectors and women subordination is thinning day by day.
"I feel it's a wonderful time for any girl to step up and achieve what she desires." Quoted Dr Aafreen Soudagar
