I am pleased to offer my home page as a means to introduce myself and to provide you with high-quality health information.

I was born in Kenya, Africa, and studied medicine in Dublin, Ireland. I did my postgraduate specialty training in Canada and the United States.

My major interests are global health and education. I am the Co-Founder and current CFO for the Global Health Education Consortium. This is a consortium of over 80 medical schools and schools of public health. Click here for the GHEC website

Diversity and multicultural health is another of my passions. Currently I am the Physician Director of our Diversity and Multicultural Health Program.

I enjoy reading philosophy, metaphysics and most of all spirituality.

I believe that perfect health is a balance of mind, body and spirit.

Disclaimer
If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
