Dr Kartini Farah Abdul Rahim is a dedicated Consultant Dermatologist whose passion for skin health is matched by her compassion for the people she serves.
You may have seen her face before—gracing billboards both towering and modest.
The name Kartini was given by her grandmother, who drew inspiration from the legendary Raden Adjeng Kartini—an Indonesian activist celebrated for championing women's rights and education in Indonesia.
Like the Javanese heroine whose name she bears, Consultant Dermatologist Dr Kartini—who prefers the simplicity of her short name — embodies the same spirit of passion, persistence, and persuasiveness.
Her commitment to uplifting others through knowledge, compassion, and advocacy echoes the legacy of her namesake, forging a path of empowerment with both skill and heart.
