Hi there! My name is Dr Khadijah Folake Tijani, also known as Doctor KT.
I grew up in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
I graduated from University of Ibadan in 2009 and completed my internship at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan in 2010.
I worked as a general practitioner in the private sector and then briefly with the government until 2013. I relocated to Saudi Arabia in 2014, exploring life and medical practice in other climes.
Between 2014 and 2019, I worked as a resident doctor in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at two Saudi hospitals: Shaqra General Hospital, Riyadh and Security Forces Hospital, Makkah.
Apart from Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, I am also a registered physician with the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I took a career break while still keeping up-to-date with my medical knowledge.
In 2020, I created a support group called the Breastfeeding Support Lounge where I empower new moms to nurse like a boss and veteran moms, to nurse better and achieve optimal breastfeeding goals.
Currently based in Canada, I am a licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada and currently working as a family physician in Rural Saskatchewan. Outside of medicine, I embrace writing as a hobby and a second career!
I leverage the power of the internet and social media to share medical contents (mostly on women’s health) written in simple language. I also write to promote healthy marital relations, positive parenting and personal development.
My mission is to make the world a healthier place, one post at a time!
I am the proud author of six books which are all available on Amazon:
1. Nature’s Superfood – A compilation of tips for successful breastfeeding.
2. The Stampede – Tales of love, trials and faith.
3. Wholesome Motherhood – A concise guide to safe pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium.
4. Ramadan Mufeedun – A Physician’s Guide To A Salubrious Month Of Fasting.
5. Dear Damsel – A Detailed Guide For Adolescent Muslim Girls.
6. 41 Journaling Prompt for Pregnant Muslim Women.
When I’m not doctoring or writing, I can be found cooking healthy meals for my family, or playing indoor and outdoor games with my kids.
