When a patient with a high-risk pregnancy expressed concerns that something “felt wrong,” Asmaa Khalid Tirkistani listened closely and escalated the situation despite normal early readings.

Further evaluation revealed early signs of a complication that required immediate intervention. Her advocacy ensured timely care and prevented a potentially serious outcome. In the Labour & Delivery unit—where every moment holds emotion, anticipation, and irregularity- Asmaa has become a trusted anchor for families and colleagues alike.

Known for her calm presence, strong clinical judgment, and compassionate heart, she has touched countless lives. Colleagues describe Amaa as the heartbeat of the unit—a nurse who advocates for mothers and consistently raises the standard of care. She is the one who works under pressure, knowing she will always remain steady, skilled, and caring.

Being honoured with her DAISY Award is a celebration of everything she brings to Labour & Delivery: exceptional clinical knowledge, an unwavering commitment to patient safety, and a gift for converting fear into trust and joy.
