I have extensive experience in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology. I am actively involved in providing excellent, patient-centred clinical care in this field and am eager to pursue a career in general obstetrics and gynaecology, with a keen interest in benign gynaecology, fertility/reproductive endocrinology, minimally invasive surgery, and medical education.
