Graduated with a diploma in Orthopaedics Technology from University of Dar Es Salaam in 2004. I am currently Managing Director of Ortho Promed in Kigali in Rwanda.
Prosthetics, specifically lower limb prosthetics. I am truly fascinated by the advancements in technology and the impact it can have on improving the quality of life for those in need of prosthetic devices.
The opportunity to work closely with patients and make a meaningful difference in their lives. Seeing the positive impact that a well-fitted and designed prosthetic device can have on someone's mobility and overall well-being is incredibly rewarding.
The lack of awareness and understanding among the general public about the field and the importance of proper prosthetic care. There is still a stigma attached to wearing prosthetic devices, and I believe it is important to educate others on the benefits and possibilities that can come from O&P services.
Working with a young athlete who lost his leg in a tragic accident. Through our collaboration, we were able to design a custom prosthetic leg that allowed him to not only walk again but also continue pursuing his passion for sports. Seeing him thrive and excel in his athletic endeavors was incredibly fulfilling.
Taking the time to listen to their needs and concerns, and involving them in the decision-making process every step of the way. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their journey towards mobility and independence.
