AFRICA (EXCL. NORTH AFRICA)

Senior Orthopedic surgeon and department head at Yekatit 12 Hospital Medical College, Health care quality expert, arthroplasty & arthroscopic surgery fellow at Cankaya Hospital (Turkey)

I am a Junior Doctor working in Cape Town of South Africa (excl. North Africa). I have a background of being a Mechanical Engineer previously. Orthopedics was part of the reason why I decided to change career paths.

As an orthopaedic surgeon and lecturer at the National Ribat University, I am dedicated to mentoring and guiding the next generation of orthopaedic professionals. I strive to create an inclusive environment that supports and empowers trainees of all genders, ensuring they have equal opportunities to excel.

My approach goes beyond teaching technical skills—I emphasize the importance of compassion, resilience, and lifelong learning to shape well-rounded professionals. Helping young orthopaedic trainees achieve their potential is a responsibility I deeply value and a cornerstone of my work in the field.
