The Gynaecological Oncology Fellowship at the University of Nairobi is a 2-year non-degree program for specialists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. It helps them manage reproductive cancers and enhances the quality of care for patients in Kenya.

The curriculum includes clinical training, coursework, and a research project. Participants gain hands-on experience with a primary mentor and engage in external clinical rotations to broaden their expertise in gynaecological oncology.

Graduates can work as super-specialist consultants, healthcare leaders, or educators in academic institutions. They can also pursue research and entrepreneurship, improving health outcomes for women in Kenya and beyond.
