A graduate from St. George's University of London, Dr. Shariffa loves the breadth of family medicine, an all-encompassing state of care that extends from the cradle to the grave. She is an accredited Family Physician with the College of Family Physicians, Singapore, as well as the Singapore Medical Association.
Dr Shariffa firmly believes in meeting patients halfway to improve their health holistically, which led her to achieve a health coach certification, and a board certification in Lifestyle Medicine, from the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine. She is cognizant of the importance of a healthy gut microbiome to improve our state of health from head to toe, physically, emotionally and psychologically, and seeks to improve health from the inside out.
She lends a familiar face and voice in health talks, along with numerous articles, to promote the importance of sustainable lifestyle practices and health awareness and literacy. Realising the environment we live in plays an undeniable role in influencing our state of health, she champions ground-up initiatives and programmes to improve social determinants of health, leading her to pursue a Master’s degree in Public Health.
