Rifat Zaidi is from Lahore, Pakistan. After years of medical training in Pakistan and abroad, he and his growing family left his practice in Islamabad and moved to Maine in 2002. Dr. Zaidi works as an orthopedic surgeon at Miles Memorial Hospital in rural Damariscotta, Maine.
Dr. Zaidi is part of an organization called Rawalpindi Medical College Overseas Foundation--a group of doctors trained in Pakistan who now work in the United States. Together they pool resources to help alleviate suffering of the poor people of that region, by promoting health and education. He oversees the administration of the girl's primary school. Using his love of Pakistani cooking, and his interest in photography, he is in the process of publishing a Pakistani cookbook to sell as a fundraiser for the girl's school.
