“When I got Breast Cancer…I suffered rejection in marriage…lost custody of my children…when I told my dad about my diagnosis he fainted, and when he woke up he told me: Wewe unaficha ugonjwa wa KISHETANI?!” This is the moving story of Rosemary Kaibunga, one of our brave Breast Cancer Warriors (Pink Champion 💪🏾💖) who speaks about her battle against Breast Cancer and other issues that come with the diagnosis.

The Story of Unconditional Love, Trusted Medical Care & The Resilient Fight Against Breast Cancer 💗

From the streets of Frere Town, Mombasa, comes an unforgettable story of courage and unconditional love. Fatma “Pilly” Shambi, a vibrant lady whose laughter could fill a room, found her world shaken when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, a disease that had already claimed the lives of women in her family.

In moments like these, many turn to whispers of tradition such as herbs, oils and unproven remedies passed from one hand to another. But Pilly was blessed with 2 saving graces:
👩🏽‍❤️‍👨🏽 The unwavering support of her loving and cheerful husband who never left her side
👨🏽‍⚕️ The timely intervention of who guided her towards proven, life-saving treatment

Day after day, her husband’s presence was her anchor. Through every doctor’s visit, every tough conversation and every tear, he reminded her “Hili jambo tutaliweza!” (We shall overcome this!) His love and support gave her strength to push forward, to fight not just for herself but for their life together.

Today, Pilly’s journey reminds us all that Breast Cancer is not just a medical battle. It is an emotional, spiritual and deeply human one. It takes courage, faith, family and the right medical guidance to overcome.

As we begin Breast Cancer Awareness Month – October, let Pilly’s story light the way. Early screening saves lives. Love sustains healing. Trusted medical care makes all the difference.

💗 To every warrior, every caregiver and every person standing strong against Breast Cancer, We Honor You!

“Bule Mwanangu…” 🥹

Every time an elderly Swahili woman in her ‘buibui na mtandio’ walks in my consultation room and calls me “mwanangu” at the end of every sentence, my heart melts. I see my own mother in Faza and I am reminded why I chose this path.

Our Swahili women don’t just walk into the hospital, they carry stories, beliefs and the weight of culture with them. Before they sit across from me, they have already consulted sisters, cousins, neighbors (and their cousins too) and tried every traditional remedy passed down generations. Many come reluctantly, “pushed” by their millennial son or daughter, not necessarily ready to act on my advice.

But I have learned that my role is bigger than treatment. It is to convince without condemning, debunk misconceptions without dismissing, listen with empathy and above all to educate without arrogance.

Yes, they are a bit slower. Yes, English medical terms twist on their tongues until they shrub miserably. Yes, many cling stubbornly to dawa za kienyeji “kwa sababu hazina side effects”. But if you speak to their hearts and values, they listen. And when they do, healing happens both physically and mentally.

The joy of seeing them recover, smile, walk lighter and improve their quality of life is unmatched. And their gratitude? It often comes wrapped in labania, mabuyu and kashata often carried as sweet tokens of appreciation on their next visit!

This is what healthcare tailored to culture looks like. Wholesome. Healing. Human. Because to love our people means to understand them to the core. This is my calling. To serve them, to understand them and to treat them.

At the recently concluded Colorectal Surgical Workshop at Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral & Research Hospital we had the privilege to further refine our expertise in advanced Laparoscopic Oncological procedures. These included:
🥢Right and Left Hemicolectomies
🥢Abdomino-perineal Resections (Principles of TME)
🥢Distal Gastrectomy with D2 Lymphadenectomy
🥢Diagnostic Laparoscopy, Staging, Biopsies and Diversion Stomas

The sessions were enriched by the guidance and presence of esteemed senior surgeons such as Dr. Alex Muturi, Dr. Hussein Billi, Dr. Patrick Nyamuhanga and Dr. Mayabi Lance alongside a dynamic team of younger surgeons and surgical registrars from across the country, including Kenyatta University.

Workshops like these not only sharpen surgical skills but also encourage mentorship, collaboration and knowledge exchange that strengthen the future of surgical practice in Kenya 🇰🇪👨🏽‍⚕️

Earlier today, Dr. Abubakar Swaleh led an engaging online talk on Hernia awareness Al Ihsaan TV breaking down myths, misconceptions and the importance of timely surgical intervention.

At Surgeons001, we believe healthcare doesn’t stop at the operating table. True impact comes when doctors step outside the hospital walls to educate, inform and empower communities.

Through platforms like online talks, radio shows, TikTok explainers and community forums, we continue to bridge the gap between medical expertise and public understanding. Because sometimes, the biggest cure starts not in the theatre, but in knowledge shared at the right time.

Day 1 of the workshop (today) was fantastic! Sorry we don’t have pictures, you know we, Surgeons, are very serious people and we don’t like distractions when we are concentrating 🙃 (pun intended)!

Anyway, we are especially grateful to for the honorable mention of Surgeons001 as an exemplary model in Patient Navigation, where both Surgical Oncologist and Medical Oncologist sit under one roof. This rare arrangement not only saves patients the long wait between consultations but also ensures better interpretation of lab tests and timely, precise chemotherapy decisions. Putting aside the egos of two distinct disciplines to serve patients’ best interest is exactly the spirit that defines our group practice.

Dr. Ahmed Kalebi also reminded us of the importance of Medical Evangelism, not just treating patients but going out to educate them about available services. This has been our heartbeat at Surgeons001 through radio shows, TikTok explainers, reels and community engagements to debunk misconceptions and spread health literacy.

Finally, our hearty congratulations to Dr. Zeinab Gura on her confirmation as CEO of KUTRRH 👏🏽 Well deserved! Her emphasis on preventive care, technology and innovation resonates deeply with our mission at Surgeons001, where we continue to leverage laparoscopy, endoscopy, robotic surgery and other innovations to deliver patient-centred, world-class care in Mombasa, Kenya.

Over a thousand years ago, Abu Qasim Al Zahrawi, the great Andalusian physician and surgeon, laid the foundation for modern surgery. He meticulously documented over 200 surgical instruments and described techniques that would shape medical science for centuries. His vision was clear: to ease human suffering through precise, innovative surgical care.

At Surgeons001, we stand on the shoulders of such giants.

Our ambition? To bring the future of surgery home to Mombasa, offering minimally invasive solutions, robotic procedures and lifesaving interventions that reflect the very spirit of what Al Zahrawi began.

We’re not just performing surgeries, we are:
🤖 Embracing cutting-edge technologies like Laparoscopy, Endoscopy, Bariatrics, Robotic Surgery
👨🏽‍🏫 Investing in Surgeon Mentorship and Training
🗣️ Tackling local misconceptions around surgery with surgical education and health literacy initiatives
👩🏽‍⚕️ Championing women in surgery through pioneers like our very own Dr. Mwanabule Ahmed

Just as Al Zahrawi saw surgery not only as a science but as a duty of care, so do we. Let’s honor the legacy. Let’s shape the future.

Across the Coast, more and more young women are walking into our clinics with sharp upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating and no idea they have Gallstones. 🪨

It’s not just “ulcers” or “something you ate” it could be your gallbladder crying for help.

We’ve seen a surge in gallbladder-related complications, especially in women aged 25–45 in Mombasa. Globally, laparoscopic gallbladder removal (lap chole) is now one of the most performed surgeries and Dr. Bule is proudly leading the charge as one of the few female general surgeons performing this keyhole procedure locally. 🥢👩🏽‍⚕️

Why Laparoscopy?
🤌🏾 Minimal scars
⏱️ Shorter hospital stay
⚡️ Faster recovery
🔻Lower infection risk

From the mama mboga to the corporate career woman, we’re normalizing early screening, timely intervention and safe surgery.

Because waiting too long can mean risking bile leaks, pancreatitis or even emergency surgery.

Thank you for providing a valuable platform to address and debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding surgery in the vibrant Mombasa/Swahili community.

“Kasumba za Uswahilini kuhusu Upasuaji”

The interactive session was enlightening, with insightful questions from the audience driving meaningful discussions on health beliefs and cultural influences in medical decisions.

Let’s continue to challenge stereotypes and encourage informed healthcare decisions. Together, we can reshape perceptions and promote better health outcomes.
