About Myself

I have been working in the field of HIV Medicine since 1991. I am now considered as a key opinion leader in the field by colleagues in HIV care and by the pharmaceutical industry in the UK and internationally, although I had extensive experience in caring for patients with HIV/AIDS, I also provide a full range of services to the general patient population, including vaccination programmes, cervical cancer screening, insurance medicals, minor surgical procedures and emergency care with appropriate referral links with local and regional specialists and hospitals.
