Since her appointment, Dr Mauro has spearheaded the Bourn Hall donation programme, shortening the recipient’s waiting list significantly, whilst maintaining the continuity of care of the patient and the success rates.

Dr Mauro is also leading a strong initiative to improve the processes for fertility preservation in cancer patients as well as strengthening the surrogacy programme at Bourn Hall through a solid legal collaboration.

Dr Mauro is a competent, dedicated doctor and many of her patients are still in touch with her because of her skills and competence, but also because of her warm, caring, and considerate nature.
