Dr Christopher Obwaka

Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, Master of Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from the University of Nairobi.

Dr Christopher Obwaka until a few years ago resided in Nairobi and holds a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, and graduated with a distinction in his Master of Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from the University of Nairobi. He has also successfully completed his MBA in Health Leadership and Management from the United States International University (USIU-Africa) and is well on his way to becoming a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG-UK).

Chris is on a mission to play his part in the elimination of maternal mortality on the African continent and beyond. His passion stems from his natural affinity and love for Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the immense value he places on human life and the critical role he believes mothers play in the world right from conception.

Beyond playing a key role in the elimination of maternal mortality by the provision of personalized, well researched and outstanding healthcare, his vision is to have every mother leave the health facility happy and with a healthy baby in her hands.

As part of the 2020 Young Executive Leaders (YEL) program run by the International Hospital Federation (IHF) headquartered in Geneva, Chris undertook a year long international collaboration with 16 other healthcare leaders from 9 different countries looking at the role of young leaders in the COVID pandemic under two main themes: “The Challenges of Being a Digital Leader in Times of Covid-19” and “Towards postCovid-19: Lessons Learned and Challenges for Hospital Leaders”.

In keeping with the biggest pandemic of our times, he is now a trained and active workplace vaccinator in his exoclinical time helping to prepare and administer the Pfizer-BioNTech at the St Richard’s Hospital vaccination hub to the population of West Sussex and beyond.
