She oversees a comprehensive portfolio that includes more than 110 hospitals, over 316 clinics, diagnostic centers, health insurance solutions, pharmacies, health technology, procurement, and strategic investments.

Asif has led the development and implementation of innovations and strategic healthcare acquisitions across regions including the Middle East, United Kingdom, United States, Greece, and Cyprus.
