@briankwizera
Data management professional with expertise in health information systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated data management professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Statistics from Makerere University and extensive experience in health information systems. My career began at Olea Academy, where I was recognized as Employee of the Year in 2019. Since then, I have honed my skills in data entry, analysis, and training across various health institutions, including the Health Information Systems Program and Mulago Specialized Women and Neonatal Hospital.
Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as reaching zero backlog status in multiple health facilities and training over 50 data personnel in COVID-19 data management. My role as a Data Supervisor for KCCA in Makindye Division further solidified my leadership abilities, as I successfully led teams to meet critical data entry targets. Currently, I volunteer at the Ministry of Health UNEPI, where I support monitoring and evaluation efforts and contribute to the development of data management guidelines.
