@akeenkunmiafolabi
I strengthen public health programs through data management, monitoring, evaluation, and health-facility support.
What I'm looking for
I've supported Oyo State Ministry of Health, the COVID-19 Emergency Operations Centre, FHI360/AHNI, and Africa CDC with public health data, surveillance, and program monitoring.
I validate, analyze, and report HIV, TB, malaria, and COVID-19 data; develop collection tools; and support data quality across facilities and local government areas. My work includes HMIS, DHIS 2.0, SORMAS, ODK, Kobo Collect, and SurveyCTO.
I've trained healthcare workers and data collectors, supervised field surveys, and provided technical support for donor-funded health programs. I'm motivated by reducing disease burden through stronger service delivery, evidence-based decisions, and quality data.
