Dr. Isabella Epiu has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first female anesthesiologist with a Ph.D. in East Africa.

To begin with, anesthesiologists are doctors specializing in administering anesthesia – medication that controls pain and, in some cases, induces sleep during surgery. They also oversee patients while they recover from the effects of these drugs post-surgery and may assist in managing chronic pain conditions.

At 37 years old, Dr. Epiu earned her Ph.D. in medicine, specializing in neuro-respiratory physiology and health economics, from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Her expertise spans anesthesia, critical care medicine, emergency care medicine, intensive care, and pain medicine.
