I am an Orthopaedic SpR in North East London on the RNOH Stanmore rotation. Having lived in Ghana, west Africa for most of my early childhood as well as having multiple family members affected by some of the issues which affect surgical care in the LMIC setting, my passion for global surgery is on a personal level. Having undertaken various small projects around the world particularly in public health and health advocacy, I currently work with a charity called MOTEC Life. MOTEC Life is focused on providing safer surgical care through a variety of clinical and educational projects in Ghana, particularly in orthopaedic and breast cancer care.
