Social Worker at Right to Care who supported youth HIV services and strengthened community-to-facility care.

At Right to Care, I supported adolescent and youth programmes spanning HIV prevention, testing, linkage to care and treatment adherence. I also conducted baseline assessments, developed quality improvement plans and supported corrective actions to address service delivery gaps.

With the Department of Health, I counselled patients and families affected by HIV/AIDS, and trained, mentored and supervised staff and students. More recently, I coordinated community programmes and mentored Civil Society Organisations on governance, service delivery and programme implementation.
