Medical Doctor at Iringa Regional Referral Hospital providing bilingual surgical care in English and Swahili.
What I'm looking for
At Iringa Regional Referral Hospital, I manage inpatient and outpatient care in the general surgery department and explain diagnoses and treatment plans to patients in Swahili and English.
I perform major and minor surgical procedures and prepare bilingual medical documentation, reports, and referral letters.
Previously, at Songea Regional Referral Hospital, I delivered inpatient and outpatient surgical care, performed procedures, and taught students during clinical rotations. As an Intern Medical Doctor there, I attended to outpatients and supervised inpatients, documenting notes and treatment plans.
I’m seeking to extend my clinical impact through telemedicine, remote consultation, and virtual care for East African and global Swahili-speaking communities. I’m registered with the Medical Council of Tanganyika and professionally fluent in English and Swahili.
