A mother of a four-year-old daughter, she has a Master's degree in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and founded Allora Medical Practice, a private clinic.
After medical school at the University of Nairobi, I worked at Aga Khan University Hospital as an intern, then I volunteered at Pumwani Maternity Hospital as an obstetrics medical officer for a year, then at Kenyatta National Hospital for another year to gain ob-gyn experience.
I then did my Master’s degree and with the help of my husband, I opened my private practice.
The truth is a lot of women face sexual dysfunction and because of social and cultural constraints, they are unable to adequately address these issues.
When you are done with medical school and you open a practice as I have, you realise that on top of running a clinic you have to learn about marketing.

Manager of the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) Colin Borde said the local players will ramp up preparations for the 2020 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) as the government starts to relax covid19 measures.
The coaches have decided a schedule alongside some senior players and the expectation is that July we will see a ramp up of activities with the local players.”
TKR retained nine TT players for the tournament including Dwayne Bravo, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Lendl Simmons, Khary Pierre, Akeal Hosein, Amir Jangoo and Tion Webster.
In terms of the overseas TKR players, Borde said, “Those out of the country have their respective programmes and plans to reach certain set targets.”
Borde said the TKR staff would ensure the players gradually get back into a more intense training programme.
The only male doctors listed as parish medical officers of health are Dr Andre McIntosh and Stephen Figueroa in Kingston and St Andrew; Dr D'Oyen Smith in St Thomas, and Dr Kaushal Singh in Hanover.

Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Campus, Dr Tomlin Paul, said that nearly three quarters of the students who enter the institution were women, who were selected based purely on merit, which has become part of the norm in the Jamaican society today.
Professor of Anatomical Pathology in the Department of Pathology at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at The UWI, Dr Carlos Escoffery, said it was not a surprise that women were dominating the public and private health sectors, as they had adequately positioned themselves for that positive movement from their student days at The UWI.
Malcolm X’s life changed dramatically in the first six months of 1964. On March 8, he left the Nation of Islam. In May he toured West Africa and made a pilgrimage to Mecca, returning as El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. While in Ghana in May, he decided to form the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU). Malcolm returned to New York the following month to create the OAAU and on June 28 gave his first public address on behalf of the new organization at the Audubon Ballroom in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. That address appears below.
Salaam Alaikum, Mr. Moderator, our distinguished guests, brothers and sisters, our friends and our enemies, everybody whos here.
As many of you know, last March when it was announced that I was no longer in the Black Muslim movement, it was pointed out that it was my intention to work among the 22 million non-Muslim Afro-Americans and to try and form some type of organization, or create a situation where the young people – our young people, the students and others – could study the problems of our people for a period of time and then come up with a new analysis and give us some new ideas and some new suggestions as to how to approach a problem that too many other people have been playing around with for too long. And that we would have some kind of meeting and determine at a later date whether to form a black nationalist party or a black nationalist army.
There have been many of our people across the country from all walks of life who have taken it upon themselves to try and pool their ideas and to come up with some kind of solution to the problem that confronts all of our people. And tonight we are here to try and get an understanding of what it is theyve come up with.
Also, recently when I was blessed to make a religious pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca where I met many people from all over the world, plus spent many weeks in Africa trying to broaden my own scope and get more of an open mind to look at the problem as it actually is, one of the things that I

Many people have been saved from death by blood transfusion.
Many people have remained mum on the latest developments around blood and blood products.
We all know that blood goes through a lot of processes from the time it is collected from donors to the time it is transfused to patient.
All these processes including packaging and storage involve a lot of costs and I personally sympathise with the National Blood Services of Zimbabwe (NBSZ) which has tried to keep itself afloat during this difficult time of COVID-19 where the traditional donors are shut out from institutions like schools, colleges or universities.
Tackling the blood price issues requires a multi-pronged approach that should involve all the stakeholders in the health system.
