Women in Orthopaedic surgery make up 5% of the total in my country. After my paediatric orthopaedic fellowship in the United Kingdom, I realised I wanted to return to South Africa and support and mentor the women coming up the ranks
This is a difficult question, but I think the times when I feel most proud of myself is when I see the positive effect I have had on someones' life or experience. When I host our #soyouwanttibiasurgeon workshops, and I see the pure joy on the students' faces! This makes it all worth it!
