AMPATH Global

AMPATH Kenya hosted the first AMPATH Global educational exchange by inviting Dr. Sumisti Shakya, an OB/GYN and second-year fellow in high-risk pregnancy at Dhulikhel Hospital in Nepal, to rotate with the Moi University maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) fellows Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Dr. Sumisti shared about her experience completing a 4-week rotation in Eldoret, Kenya. Dr. Sumisti’s main goal during the elective was to gain experience in managing a broad range of high-risk obstetric cases. "I wanted to develop my skills in handling complex pregnancies and apply what I learn to my practice back home in Nepal," she noted. The elective provided her with a diverse array of cases that expanded her understanding of global maternal health. Dr. Richard Mogeni, an MTRH gynecologist, is now at Dhulikhel Hospital for a one-month minimal invasive surgery rotation Read more: https://lnkd.in/geZb_5mb

Thank you AMPATH Global, AMPATH Nepal, Roopa Kohli-Seth, #ICCM, Rose House, and Debbie Ungar for this feature. My first experience in Nepal was an unexpected opportunity to channel my intersecting expertise in critical care, education, quality, humanism, and equity work into a new and challenging mission. Looking forward to a November return with Cappi Lay and to working again with Sangina Ranjit and Bhawana Regmi to advance our #ICU quality improvement partnerships.
