Answering your questions: Top Nigerian heart and kidney surgeon Dr. Olurotimi Badero
Focus on AfricaAvailable for over a year
Spending six years to become a doctor is no mean feat. But how about if you sacrifice more than a decade to specialise as both a cardiologist and nephrologist (more commonly known as a kidney specialist)? Well one man, Dr. Olurotimi Badero, has combined both and has won accolades in the US and beyond. It has all paid off for this high-achieving Nigerian medic. Among the accolades, he has received the US Congressional Award for a distinguished career and services to humanity. When Bola Mosuro met up with him at our studios in London she began by asking him to explain the dual specialism, before putting some of your questions to him. (Dr. Olurotimi Badero.
