AMPATH Kenya hosted the first AMPATH Global educational exchange by inviting Dr. Sumisti Shakya, an OB/GYN and second-year fellow in high-risk pregnancy at Dhulikhel Hospital in Nepal, to rotate with the Moi University maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) fellows Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Dr. Sumisti shared about her experience completing a 4-week rotation in Eldoret, Kenya. Dr. Sumisti’s main goal during the elective was to gain experience in managing a broad range of high-risk obstetric cases. "I wanted to develop my skills in handling complex pregnancies and apply what I learn to my practice back home in Nepal," she noted. The elective provided her with a diverse array of cases that expanded her understanding of global maternal health.
