Motivation
Driven by a profound commitment to patient-centered care, I, Dr. Ntulume Yassini Shakuru, dedicate my expertise as a General Surgeon and Mastologist to advancing breast cancer treatment and research. My educational foundation, encompassing MBChB, M.Med in Surgery, and MRBS in Surgical Oncology, equips me to provide thorough diagnoses and tailored treatment plans, particularly for the over-representation of triple-negative breast cancer in women of African descent. Beyond clinical practice, my leadership roles, including Chair of the International Muslim Medical Board at Johns Hopkins University and General Secretary of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's Breast Implant Task Force, reflect my dedication to global healthcare initiatives and advancements in breast surgery. Ultimately, my goal is to improve breast cancer awareness, enhance access to care, and elevate survival rates, ensuring compassionate and effective support for every patient throughout their journey.
