Dr Mukhtar Ahmad MB, BS MMedSci FRCS
Trustee and Chief Executive
I am a specialist bowel surgeon based in Dorset on the south coast of the United Kingdom
though I was born and raised in the Sahel region. My areas of expertise include robotic
surgery for bowel cancer and treatment of conditions such as prolapse, incontinence and
constipation. I have gained considerable management and leadership skills in my roles as
Clinical Director for Surgery (2018-2021) and Lead Clinician for Colorectal Surgery.
I am passionate about helping those less fortunate than me and was privileged to be one of
the founding trustees of the Sahel Water Empowerment Initiative. I am conscious that
scarcity of clean drinking water often plays a role in regional conflicts with the girl child
particularly at risk because of the distances she is required to walk unprotected to fetch
water.
Water provision also complements my other charitable area of interest which is provision of
free basic medical care to disadvantaged communities. I hope to make a small contribution
to improving the standard of living in disadvantaged communities by helping to provide clean drinking water and working collaboratively with other not-for-profit organisations to uplift these communities.
