Email: rumac@doctors.org.uk Ru is a consutant urologist in Taunton and has been a member of the UROLINK sub committee since 1996. He is the Uro-Oncology Lead Clinician in his local hospital and has a strong research interest with publications on many topics including Quality of Life, Prostate Cancer and Life Expectancy. Ru first worked in Africa in 1983, spending 4 months at the Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa. Subsequently in 1994, as a Senior Registrar, he travelled to KCMC in Tanzania with his family and lived and worked there for 6 months. Since that period, he has established a working link with Mnazi Moja Hospital in Zanzibar, Tanzania, where he has worked on many occasions with the Consultant Urologist/General Surgeon, Dr Mohammed Jiddawi. During this time with assistance and support from UROLINK he has developed the Dept. of Urology in Zanzibar where now a full range of open and endoscopic procedures are performed. In addition, he is responsible through UROLINK for the collection and distribution of urological equipment to the developing world. Ru has long been a strong supporter of the concept of twinning links and feels strongly that this is the best way of providing sustainable and mutual collaboration with the developing world. |
