🎙️ Breaking Barriers: Dr. Neema Mbaruku on Surgery, Business & Single Motherhood | Daktari: A Quick One
In this inspiring follow-up episode of Daktari: A Quick One, Dr. Neema Mbaruku, Kenya’s first female orthopedic surgeon, continues her powerful conversation with Dr. Nyadimu Festus.
She shares her experience navigating the practice of orthopedics in Kisumu as a private practitioner in a male-dominated field, confronting chauvinism and breaking stereotypes to stand out. Dr. Neema also talks about her roles beyond the operating room — as a lecturer at Uzima University, a single mother, and an entrepreneur running Hearts, Palms & Memories Hotel in Kisumu.
A proud two-term Treasurer of the Kenya Orthopedic Association (KOA), she opens up about mental health challenges in surgery, balancing multiple roles, and offers powerful advice for young, aspiring female surgeons in Kenya.
