Drawn to O&G training by the joy of being part of delivering a child into the world, Erika balances her work life with baking and singing, when she is not working 24-36 hour shifts in a busy hospital in Manila.

Erika is looking forward to gaining more experience and exposure to O&G practices and procedures when she participates in the RANZCOG International Fellowship program in October 2022.

In her practice area in Dhaka, Fahmida and her colleagues look after around 10,000 women, often women with high risk pregnancies and important post-natal care for mothers.

Fahmida hopes that after participating in the RANZCOG International Fellowship program, she will be able to take new skills back to her colleagues in Bangladesh to continue to improve the lives of women and babies.

With a daily theatre schedule and labour ward, Yi Pei has always got something on. He looks after more than 2,500 patients a year in a city of three million people. He also enjoys educating medical students at the busy O&G clinic.

Yi Pei has a passion for teaching: as well as medical students locally, he also works as an Adjunct Lecturer for Monash University. By teaching, Yi Pei is also constantly learning by passing on knowledge to the next generation of specialists and at the same time keeping up to date with the latest in evidence-based guidelines.

Outside of work, Yi Pei enjoys reading and exercise, to keep balanced.

After participating in the RANZCOG IFP, Yi Pei is keen to take the latest experience and knowledge of Australian hospitals and RANZCOG Fellows back to Malaysia, and to encourage more women to come forward for essential healthcare.

Neha and her colleagues look after 6,000-7,000 women each year in their department, and her day-to-day duties also include morning lectures for undergraduate students and daily ward rounds, as well as bedside teaching for postgraduate students.

Neha was drawn to medicine as a child and during her undergraduate degree found that O&G was her calling. Wanting to help women in her society was a great motivation for her.

Outside of work, Neha enjoys travelling and exploring new cities, as well as listening to music and shopping.

Neha hope that by participating in the RANZCOG IFP, she can take back new skills for herself, her colleagues and her community in diagnostic pathways and testing.

Drawn to the O&G speciality by the diversity in practice and patients (from teenage years to menopause), Mairini believes that the training she has received as a specialist makes a huge difference to the lives of both mother and baby, and as a result makes it an engaging and exciting specialty to be a part of.

Zolboo believes training and working as an O&G is more than a job: it’s a calling. She says delivering a baby is one of the greatest joys you can experience, and considers it an honour to assist a woman in feeling that joy.

Whilst she is in Australia, Zolboo hopes she can learn more on gynaecological endoscopic surgery in order to assist her and her colleagues in Mongolia to continue to deliver high-quality, cutting-edge services to women back home.
