About
Bio
I am an Internal Medicine physician affiliated with Ben Carson Sr School of Medicine, Babcock University in Nigeria where a new generation of world class physicians are being trained to address global health challenges such as this Coronavirus Pandemic. Despite my interest in training young doctors, my passion is for helping people feel better individually through lifestyle interventions and disease prevention.
There is a saying that goes " prevention is better than cure" however, if you already have a chronic disease I can help you manage it.
Remember to wash your hands with soap and water several times daily AND practice social distancing ( 4-6 feet apart)!
