Summary

I am an international medical graduate with the MBBS degree from the university of Lagos and I have undergone a total of 25 months of postgraduate training with 68 Nigerian Army reference hospital and Genesis specialist hospital with a total of over 6 years independent, unsupervised family practice.

I offer strong background in diagnosis, treatment and medical care, expertise in effective treatment of diverse conditions by thoroughly evaluating patients, reviewing medical history and interpreting test results.
