Clinical experience

I have been practicing in the UAE since 2018, in both private and government hospitals providing out patient care, operative procedures and deliveries.

My interest in Gynae oncology drove me to United Kingdom where I worked in a busy Gynae cancer service at the Oxford university hospitals, NHS foundation trust at their Churchill and JR hospitals. This assignment gave me first hand experience of the NHS Oncology services, handling the rapid access clinics for suspected cancer as well as oncology surgeries and follow up care.

Prior to this, I bring rich experience from tertiary care hospitals of the capital New Delhi, India. Here, I have worked as Assistant professor at leading medical college : Lady Harding Medical College , imparting knowledge and training to obgyn residents as well as young doctors. Being part of research project on novel cancer screening methods at AIIMS New Delhi with pioneers Dr Neerja Bhatla, sharpened my colposcopy skills. My tenure at Medanta, Gurugram gave me training and exposure to some of the most advanced gynae surgeries including Robotic surgery
