Dr. Tinotenda Ushamba graduated from the Durham School of Podiatric Medicine, one of the leading podiatry schools in the United Kingdom. A podiatrist with extensive experience across both public and private healthcare sectors, Dr. Ushamba earned a BSc Honours in Podiatric Medicine in the United Kingdom and went on to work for several years within the NHS. During this time, Dr. Ushamba developed a strong foundation in diabetic foot management, musculoskeletal podiatry, and minor surgical procedures. Dr. Ushamba later moved to the United Arab Emirates, where he played a pivotal role in establishing podiatry services for the Al Dhafra region. He spearheaded the successful launch of podiatry clinics in Madinat Zayed, Mirfa, Sila, and Ghiyathi. In addition to performing advanced wound care and comprehensive biomechanical assessments, Dr. Ushamba significantly increased regional awareness of diabetic foot complications, ulcer prevention, and high-risk foot management—areas that had previously been underserved. His efforts contributed to improved patient outcomes and addressed a growing healthcare need in a region facing high rates of diabetes-related complications. Now practicing at Burjeel Hospital, Dr. Ushamba continues to provide expert care in all aspects of foot and lower limb health. His clinical interests include plantar fasciitis, heel pain, gait dysfunctions, pressure offloading, and the use of custom orthotics. Known for a patient-centered approach and commitment to innovation, Dr. Ushamba remains actively involved in protocol development and service improvement initiatives within multidisciplinary teams.
