From Academic Laurels to Global Training

He pursued advanced specialisation in the United Kingdom, where he earned the FRCS (Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons) in Trauma & Orthopaedics from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh a qualification recognised globally as the benchmark for surgical competence.
