Dr. Kingsley Mensah as our new Obstetrician-Gynecologist

RYAN YOUNG, RMH

KAWARTHA LAKES: Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) is happy to introduce Dr. Kingsley Mensah as our new Obstetrician-Gynecologist in the hospital’s Dr. Gargi Bhatia Family Birthing Centre.

Dr. Mensah brings with him 30 years of experience as a medical practitioner. He has been running his own practice and working out of Aberdeen Regional Hospital in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, since 2020. Before that, he ran his practice in Johannesburg, South Africa, and worked out of Dr SK Matseke Memorial Hospital from 2003 to 2020.

“I am excited to join Ross Memorial Hospital and the Kawartha Lakes community,” said Dr. Mensah. “Patients can expect I will be providing safe, comprehensive, and patient-centred care during one of the most important journeys of their lives. I look forward to implementing my skill set developed over decades of experience to make a positive impact within the hospital and community at-large."

Part of the allure of relocating to Kawartha Lakes for Dr. Mensah was to be closer to his children, who are nearby. There are also a lot of similarities to the small, tight-knit community in Nova Scotia, he is arriving from.

“The addition of Dr. Kingsley Mensah to our hospital’s Dr. Gargi Bhatia Family Birthing Centre is very exciting,” added Kelly Isfan, President and CEO of Ross Memorial Hospital. “Dr. Mensah is an excellent, dedicated physician who will play a significant role in the obstetrics care our community relies on.”

Dr. Mensah’s office is now accepting referrals which can be provided by local family physicians, midwives or via Walk-In or Virtual Care Clinics.
