Biography

I was born and raised in Uganda, East Africa. I have a bachelor’s degree in medicine (MBChB) from Makerere university and a master's degree in anaesthesia and critical care. This positions me at the forefront of acute care in hospital emergency departments, operating theatres and the intensive care unit (ICU). Traumatic brain injury is a growing global health problem with a disproportionately higher burden in LMICs like Uganda, majorly affecting young males, resulting in death or disability and leaving the survivors and their families adversely affected. Our setting with limited access to surgery, intensive care, rehabilitative services and a significant health workforce deficiency, efforts to prevent brain trauma must be made. My PhD work is focussed on the economic cost and systems impact of traumatic brain injury in the East African region. This will inform policy, resource allocation and hopefully strengthen efforts to prevent or reduce severity of traumatic brain injuries. Outside my PhD work, I look forward to enjoying the rich history, architecture and cultural diversity in Cambridge and establishing new friendships while there.
