Dr. Carrie Muh Brings Hope and Healing to a Kenyan Hospital

From Complex Brain Surgeries to Teaching Surgical Residents, Dr. Muh’s Mission Left a Lasting Impact on Patients and Physicians Alike

For 14 days, Carrie Muh, M.D., second from right, professor of neurosurgery, traded the halls of New York Medical College and operating rooms of Westchester Medical Center for Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital in Kisumu, Kenya, treating patients who shared stories she will never forget. In September, Dr. Muh joined the group Giving Back to Kenya and Kisumu Neuroscience Initiative on a mission trip serving dozens of people of all ages with neurological conditions—from spinal disorders to brain injuries.
