I have worked alongside my Ethiopian Medical colleagues in Tigray, Welega, Bahirdar and Addis for years. My commitment to elevating the health of women is unshakable. I will accompany you as you pick up the pieces and rebuild a more resilient health system #Doctors4Ethiopia

Great seeing friends at #FIGO2025 in Capetown, South Africa. The only place where I get to spend time with my global health partners from Burkina, Uganda, Ethiopia, Botswana and the US all in one space. We are truly a global village.

Hope you got a chance to look up today.

My day started at 5 am. Busy day in the OR and clinic. Then there is making dinner. I thought there was no energy left. But then I decided to go for a walk So glad I did. Sweet exhaustion Goodnight sun Good night fellow humans.
