Hot on the heels of the city’s progress update regarding its physician Attraction and Retention Strategy, AHS has announced a newly recruited radiologist is now practicing in Grande Prairie.
Dr. Napo Kasirye-Mbugua is a radiologist with sub-specialty training in diagnostic neuroradiology. She moved to Grande Prairie in August and is now practicing in the Regional Hospital.
At the hospital, Dr. Kasirye-Mbugua’s work includes performing and diagnosing imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRIs.
Grande Prairie MLAs Nolan Dyck and Ron Wiebe agree the new addition is critical in improving residents’ access to healthcare, especially with the new doctor’s specialty.
“Her arrival will enhance access to care for not only those in Grande Prairie but across northern Alberta,” Dyck says. “Dr. Kasirye-Mbugua will help ensure patients continue to have access to imaging services like MRIs, X-rays, and ultrasounds when they need them,” Wiebe adds.
Dr. Kasirye-Mbugua received her medical training at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, before completing her fellowship with the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa, where she also obtained her master’s degree in radiology.
