'Lack of housing nearly cost me Irish hospital job,' says overseas paediatrician

Dr Misha Anam turned to social media in order for her to get a place to rent

Dr Misha Anam a paediatrician from Pakistan seeking housing in Clonmel for her job at Tipperary University Hospital.

A doctor from Pakistan who was offered a job in Tipperary University Hospital very nearly had to reject the post as she was unable to find a house to rent. 

Only a last-minute desperate plea on social media secured a tenancy for Dr Misha Anam, allowing her to take up the job in paediatrics working at senior house officer level. Dr Anam said she was thrilled when offered work in Clonmel in early May, and immediately began looking for a house.
