I am a specialist registrar in plastic and reconstructive surgery from Ndola, Zambia where I spent several years working in the surgery department at the children’s hospital. During this time, I saw many children suffer life changing deformities caused by burn injuries and other soft tissue defects that inspired me to pursue a career in plastic surgery. I have a passion for pediatric plastic surgery, hand surgery, burn reconstruction and treatment of scars and keloids.
My current research is focused on developing a model for complex tissue regeneration applying neurovascular supermicrosurgery techniques to enhance the local tissue environment. I am also a keen advocate for global surgery and the development of reconstructive microsurgery in sub-Saharan Africa.
