After the one-year internship, there is still one question that lingers for most doctors: what speciality will you choose?
It is not just a professional choice. It deeply affects the kind of life you will lead.
Most female doctors in Kenya end up picking a speciality focused on women and children.
A recent study done at the University of Nairobi medical school showed the majority of women picked paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology.
Neurosurgery fell at the bottom of the list. As a result, there are only four women neurosurgeons in Kenya.
