INNOVATION IN THE AIR

DR BRENDAN TOY

LEAD DOCTOR

I am a medical doctor who completed my studies at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2009. Combining my passion for medicine with a love for travel, I spent five years practicing onboard cruise ships. However, my journey eventually led me to the Adult Intensive Care Unit of Frere Hospital in East London in April 2018.

Fast forward to the 18th of March 2020, when the world was profoundly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. It was during this time that Craig reached out to me from the departure lounge of Heathrow with a glimmer of hope and an idea. Filled with belief, I eagerly joined him on a mission to turn that hope into reality. It was a calling to serve those in need, and from that calling, a team emerged. Together, we harnessed our creativity and transformed it into productivity. Working alongside such a humble and talented team has been an inspiring and humbling experience.

May Umoya stand as a testament to their selflessness and dedication to making a difference in the lives of others.
