Dr. Tahira Jokhio
Tahira trained as a GP in Karachi, Pakistan, before moving to Aotearoa, which she now calls her second home. Since arriving, she has worked across the North Island, gaining broad experience in caring for diverse communities.
As a mother of three, Tahira brings genuine understanding and empathy when working with children and young people. She has a strong interest in women’s health and is deeply committed to supporting wāhine through the physical and emotional challenges they may face.
Tahira is also a Panel Physician for Immigration New Zealand, with over a decade of experience. She supports people with their immigration medical examinations, additional information requests, and emigration assessments. Her interest in travel medicine led her to complete a postgraduate certificate at the University of Otago.
Fluent in multiple languages and culturally sensitive, Tahira enjoys connecting with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
Outside of work, she loves staying active at the gym, reading, sketching, sewing, listening to music, and travelling when she can. She and her whānau remain closely connected to their Pakistani roots through volunteering at community events.
