Dr. Abubakar proudly represented Surgeons001 at the MSAUN–KNH Medical & Surgical Camp 2025 at Garbatulla Sub-County Hospital in Isiolo County, standing alongside 3️⃣1️⃣ dedicated doctors and nurses who collectively mentored 7️⃣0️⃣ medical students, attended to 1️⃣8️⃣6️⃣4️⃣ outpatients and performed 1️⃣1️⃣5️⃣ major and minor surgical procedures.

Some journeys come full circle and this one was deeply personal.

For Dr. Abubakar, this camp stirred powerful memories. As a medical student at the University of Nairobi, he never missed a single medical or surgical camp, drawn by the spirit of service, learning and impact. Years later, now as a practising surgeon, he intentionally makes time to return to these spaces, giving back to the same noble cause that shaped his journey. Beyond imparting practical surgical skills to future doctors, these camps bring much-needed care to communities in the hinterland who would otherwise struggle to access quality healthcare.

Equally special is the reunion. Reconnecting with long-time friends and colleagues, building new professional bonds and nurturing the next generation of surgeons in an environment rooted in purpose and brotherhood.

We extend our sincere appreciation to The Muslim Student’s Association of University of Nairobi (MSAUN)-KNH Chapter for organizing such an exemplary camp and for consistently uplifting the legacy of service among its alumni. You continue to make us proud. We look forward to complementing your mission of harnessing our collective expertise to drive meaningful impact through academic excellence, social outreach and community service.

Today, as Kenya celebrates Jamhuri Day and honours its journey of independence, resilience and collective progress, we at Surgeons001 are proud to mark a remarkable achievement that reflects the very same spirit of dedication, service and the pursuit of a greater and healthier nation.

Our very own Dr. Abubakar Swaleh has been recognized as “Trainer of the Year” at the 5th Annual Graduation Dinner for General Surgery, Neurosurgery and Orthopaedics held in Mombasa COSECSA | The College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa

Dr. Abubakar, himself a COSECSA Fellow, earned this honour for his exemplary mentorship and unwavering support to the COSECSA-CGTRH medical registrars at the Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital.

What makes this recognition truly special is how it was awarded. For the first time, registrars independently voted for the trainer who had most impacted their learning and they unanimously chose Dr. Abubakar.

They highlighted his:
👨🏽‍⚕️ Exceptional passion for surgical education
🥢 Gift for simplifying and demonstrating complex surgical concepts and skills
👨🏽‍🏫 Record 45 teaching sessions this year, a remarkable feat for a practising surgeon
📲 Constant availability in moments of crisis, becoming the surgeon they could always call when stuck

Hearing registrars describe an unwritten rule of “If you’re stranded, just call Dr. Abu” is the kind of affirmation that speaks louder than any certificate or trophy. It reflects humility, service and genuine devotion to shaping the next generation of surgeons.

This award is not just a personal triumph, it is a testament to what Surgical Education can achieve when passion meets purpose. And on this Jamhuri Day, we are reminded that nation-building does not only happen in parliaments or political arenas, it unfolds in classrooms, operating theatres, communities and in the quiet, unseen moments where one professional uplifts another.

The icing on the cake?
This year, COSECSA–CGTRH was recognized as the Best COSECSA Training Institution in Kenya, and among the 6️⃣0️⃣ doctors in the programme nationwide, the Best Surgical Fellow also emerged from this centre! 🙌🏾 A powerful reflection of the strength and quality of surgical training in our region.

We extend our gratitude to COSECSA for nurturing surgical excellence across the continent. As the largest surgical training institution in Sub-Saharan Africa, operating across 14 member countries and 10 partner nations, COSECSA continues to strengthen the future of surgical care.

And today, we proudly celebrate Dr. Abubakar 👏🏾 a shining example of what dedication to education, mentorship and service truly looks like.

Happy Jamhuri Day 🇰🇪
To serving. To devotion. To nation-building.

“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.
