Meet Dr Oluyinka Olutoye, A Black Trailblazer In Medicine.


Dr Oluyinka Olutoye is a Nigerian surgeon in Houston, Texas and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center and St. Joseph Medical Center. He is a pediatric surgeon at the Texas Children’s Hospital and the Co-Director of the Texas Children’s Fetal Center.

He received his medical degree from Obafemi Awolowo College of Health Sciences, Ogun State University in 1988 before his post-graduate medical education in paediatrics at Howard University and District of Columbia General Hospital.

Dr Olutoye gained global acclaim after he led a team of doctors to operate on an unborn baby at 23 weeks old who had a rare tumour at the base of her tailbone. They removed the baby from Margaret Boemer’s womb and performed the surgery before restoring the baby into the womb.



The procedure was successful and the baby healed while in the mother’s womb. Lynlee Hope was born at 36 weeks old and gained global recognition as the baby who was born twice – thanks to Dr Olutoye.

Dr Olutoye is a member of the International Fetal Medicine and Surgery Society and is a Fellow of the Surgical Section of the American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Surgeons; he is also a Fellow of the West African College of Surgeons.

He has won several awards including the 2012 Denton A.

DeBakey Department of Surgery and Mark A. Wallace 2014 Catalyst Leader of the Year at the Texas Children’s Hospital.

Iran's keeper Zohreh Koudaei accused of being a man.

  Iranian women's football team goalkeeper, Zohreh Koudaei, has been accused of being a man by the Jordan Football Association after she saved two penalties for a crucial win against Jordan.  As a result of these saves in a penalty shoot out which ended 4-2, Iran earned a place at the Women’s Asian Cup for the first time in the country’s history. The cup will take place in India in 2022.  Jordan FA is now asking for a gender verification check. Lol. Jordan FA President Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein took to Twitter to share a letter to the Asian Football Confederation calling for an official investigation into the sex of Koudaei.
