September is Women in Medicine Month and we are taking this opportunity to recognise the achievements and contributions of women across medicine and healthcare.

Women make up nearly 70% of the global health and care workforce, playing an essential role in delivering care, advancing research, educating future generations, and strengthening health systems worldwide.

Our Foundation is honoured to support all women doctors who work, train and collaborate with us.

"I want to help the people here, because the people suffered for a long time. I stayed here all the time in the war - I watched it. Most of the doctors leave Syria and go. I am the only obstetrics and gynaecology doctor in all my area. I told my husband if all the people leave Syria and go, who is staying here to help these people? I choose to stay with the people. And I look to the future."

Dr Ikram Habboush, consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology, Idlib, Syria

"I've always been invested in humanitarian work. The more I got involved, the more I wanted to do it. It's so rewarding, you get to share your knowledge and your skills and meet so many different types of people. And I also learn so much from the people I interact with in all parts of the world. I feel enriched."

Jemilat Gbadamosi, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist.

'For me, the basics is the disparity in maternal healthcare. By the accident of birth, you can be born in a country where you or your friends, family, sisters, siblings have a high risk of dying through pregnancy and pregnancy related complications. That's what motivates me.'

Dr Pippa Letchworth is a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology and one of our longest serving faculty surgeons.

Here she packs a 'Pippa' pouch named after her. This was the incentive of , our fabulous corporate partner, who named some of their products after our female surgeons. And here Pip talks about what motivates her to do what she does.

Buy one of these products, and a proportion of the proceeds is given to our Foundation to support our work training surgeons in countries facing conflict and catastrophe.

Go out and grab yourself a 'Pippa' bag and think of our surgeons as they prepare for their vital work.

'The pinnacle of my career to have an Oliver Bonas Pippa Pouch!'
