Summary
Hardworking and passionate medical specialist in the field of obstetrics and gynecology with good people's skills. I am a team player and recognise that we all have a part to play in ensuring good quality management of our patients and being sensitive to patient's circumstances which require tailoring patient care accordingly. I believe everyone needs to know what is going on in their body so they can make better informed decisions. I love educating patients and teaching medical students and registrars.
