The IBTA is delighted to announce its first podcast of 2022 in the series “A Brain Tumour and Me – a journey of inspiration, personal stories and hope”. In these podcast episodes, we’re meeting some of those working in the field of neuro-oncology, the people who support patients and their families and those who’ve been told they have a brain tumour. We’ll learn how brain tumours affected all these people, often in surprising ways.
This third episode of “A Brain Tumour Tumour and Me” features Rwanda’s first and only female neurosurgeon, Dr Claire Karekezi. Dr Karekezi is a consultant neurosurgeon based at the Rwanda Military Hospital in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. She has a special interest in neuro-oncology, skull base surgery and endoscopic endonasal surgery. In this IBTA podcast, Dr Karezezi talks about her journey to become a neurosurgeon, why she is so inspired by her brain tumour patients and how she hopes to help improve the quality of care in Rwanda.
