KARACHI: Sarah Gill, who has become the first-ever member of the transgender community in the country to obtain an MBBS degree and become a doctor, has been given a chance to do her house job at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) in Karachi.

In this regard, Sarah Gill met JPMC Executive Director Prof Dr Shahid Rasool on Tuesday to obtain her house job letter. Earlier, Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had asked the Sindh government to make arrangements for Gill’s house job on an immediate basis.
