Tito is of the strong belief that patients should be able to access a surgeon whenever they need one without anything acting as a barrier.

The focus of her research in Calgary is to look at the socioeconomic effect on surgical results and access to adequate medical care.

Another thing worthy of note is that the Nigerian doctor got her medical degree in 2013 at the University of Manitoba and has always been passionate about global and children health.

Her shock at how children lose their lives to pneumonia in Nigeria even when the health condition could be easily treated, made her passionate about pediatric care.

The experience made her committed towards developing healthcare system across developing countries, especially in Africa.
