My name is Peace Tanaka Simango. I am a general medicine and surgery graduate with distinctions.
I am a goal-driven doctor who strives to continuously deliver above-set standards and contribute positively to humanity and the medical fraternity as a whole.
Growing up I always knew that I wanted to become a medical doctor and well the fact that my father is a consultant doctor in Obstetrics & Gynaecology did make my career path a little bit biased.
During my time in medical school, we needed to do clinical attachments and being a mummies girl, I always preferred doing these in my home country of Zimbabwe. It was during these times I learnt and became aware of the lack of availability of sources of information about health issues that are common in men and women. Often patients would come at a late stage (advanced stage) of illnesses when little could be done when early diagnosis would have saved them, hence Just A Medical Blog by Tanaka was born, to make crucial information on health easily available in ways that are easy to understand.
As for myself, I am just an African girl with a huge passion for medicine. I have been through medical school at Pavlov First State Medical University of St. Petersburg, Russia. I love offering health care especially to the less fortunate.
I am fortunate enough to have a strong support unit of family and friends.
