Dr. Michael Magoha, a neurosurgeon and lecturer at the University of Nairobi Department of Surgery has authored a book that illustrates effective study techniques for learners.

The book titled: Study like a surgeon is an illustrated pocketbook of proved, effective study techniques presented in a colourful relaxed format.

The University of Nairobi in collaboration with Kenyatta National Hospital, Crown Healthcare and Karl Storz Kenya, through a team led by Dr. Michael Magoha and Mr. Harun Aseka have been able to offer 7 patients state of the art neuro endoscopic procedures that they would otherwise not have been able to afford.

The procedures included endoscopic fenestrations, endoscopic third ventriculostomies, endoscopic biopsies among others.
