I am in the pursuit of becoming a maternal and child health specialist with the main aim of reducing the maternal mortality rate in Uganda.
BACKGROUND
I am Nsobya George 24/M was born in a polygamous family where my dad has 5 wives and 15 children and my mother happens to be the latest wife of my dad and I also happen to be the first born for my mother and I have 5 siblings. When not at campus's, we live in Kayunga district in the central region of Uganda about 70km from Kampala the capital city of Uganda. I have been raised from Kayunga from where I joined Mengo senior school for high school and later joined Mbarara university in 2013/august and now in my final year (5th year) doing bachelors in medicine and surgery and am looking forward to get done with the program and go for further studies to equip me well in the battle of improving the health sector in the remote areas from where we come from.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
I am in the pursuit of becoming a maternal and child health specialist with the main aim of reducing the maternal mortality rate in Uganda by mainly focussing on the preventable causes and risk factors contributing to the statistics. For example encouraging all pregnant mothers to attend antenatal care services where some risk factors can be screened like pre ecclampsia and encourage them to plan to deliver in hospitals. To those with strong cultural affiliation who desire to be delivered by traditional birth attendants (TBAs), we shall make a work plan to persuade TBAs and give them rooms in the hospital such that they deliver mothers in the hospitals in that in any case of any complication: medical personal can intervene quickly and prevent avoidable deaths like from post partum hemorrhage. And also teaching VHTs danger signs during pregnancy such that medical attention can be sought in time. With this we shall be able to reduce maternal mortality rate from preventable and manageable causes thus a better Uganda.
INTERESTS
