Dr Agha began her medical career with her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery qualification from the Khyber Medical College, Pakistan in 1991.

Since 2013, Dr Agha has been working as a consultant but her career has also involved the teaching, training and supervision of future psychiatrists.
